An email filter is a software application that prevents unwelcome messages from entering a particular inbox. An enormous percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam emails: offers for pills or cash, false banking notifications, and so on. That is why, it’s very important to set up email filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any chance of being scammed somehow. Filters detect different things, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection – particular words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s SMTP email server. Hosting providers often use the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to render spam filtering better and easier without affecting authentic email messages, even if they contain suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting servers rely on one of the very best spam filters available on the market. It is called SpamAssassin and is available with each shared web hosting package, so if you host your domain names with us, you can pick one of the 5 levels of security that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can accomplish this with just 2 clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all shared web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin analyzes the header field and the body of each and every email message, gives it a spam score and then proceeds according to the level that you have chosen. Each mailbox can have a different level and you can select if the email messages that the spam filter labels as spam should be deleted or forwarded to a different email account where you can review them at a later time, so as to avoid erasing a genuine message. Switching to some other level or deactivating the protection is also surprisingly easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server packages come with first-rate anti-spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin email filter, which rates all inbound emails based on a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of certain keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you enable the filter for any mailbox through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can choose between five separate levels of security – from very low to very high. If you continue to get unsolicited bulk messages, you can raise the level, or if genuine emails are marked as spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection requires as little as two clicks of the mouse and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted momentarily or if they should be re-sent to a chosen email address where you can view them later, so as to ensure that important emails will not get lost.
