Most emails sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. unwelcome messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also pose a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may be ripped off. That is the reason why a lot of email providers make use of spam filters, which are software applications that monitor all inbound email messages and filter the undesired ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how many times they’re referred to, what web site a certain link opens, what SMTP server the email is sent from, and so on. Some web hosts also rely on the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about undesirable messages, to make certain that their clients won’t receive any email in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domain names with our company and you select any of our Linux shared website hosting, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any email account that you create. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 separate levels of safety. In case you still receive unsolicited bulk messages or the filters start preventing legitimate emails from entering your inbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam filtering solution is ensured by one of the most famous spam filters – SpamAssassin. If you do not want to risk skipping a legitimate message that may be flagged as spam owing to its content, you can also create custom filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the message and forward the emails to a different mailbox where you can check them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated servers, you won’t have to worry about spam emails stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can make use of the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we offer with every account. Our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to activate the filter for any email account with a few clicks and you can choose any of the 5 security levels – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, authentic messages get blocked, or if spam messages go through and appear in your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be forwarded to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can examine them every now and then to make certain that you haven’t missed a legitimate email.
