An email filter is a software application that runs on an email server and keeps track of all inbound messages so as to impede any unrequested ones from entering a specific mailbox. Several examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, fake bank statements or attachments that contain malware sent with the idea of infecting your PC. Spam filters usually ‘scan’ the content of an email and when they spot specific keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email message or re-send it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some providers mix their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection for their customers. Such databases include patterns, mail server IPs and other information about spam messages recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Hosting

In case you decide to host your domain names with us and you pick any of our hosting plans, you will be able to activate anti-spam protection for any email account that you set up. With several mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can switch between five separate safety levels. If you continue to get unsolicited bulk messages or the spam filters start preventing legitimate emails from entering your mailbox, you can switch to a different level just as easily. The quality of our anti-spam service is ensured by one of the most popular email filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk omitting an authentic message that may be mistaken for spam because of its content, you can also create custom filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the email message and redirect the emails to another mailbox where you can check them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you reach the decision to use the mail service that comes with our Linux semi-dedicated servers, you can keep all undesirable email messages away from your mailbox by enabling the five-level anti-spam protection service that we provide with every semi-dedicated plan. This can be achieved through the feature-laden Email Manager section of the Control Panel and we use the advanced SpamAssassin filter to ensure that we offer the best possible security for our clients. You can have a different level of protection for each email account and you can select if the filtered messages should be erased or re-sent to another email account where you can read them at a later point in time so as to make certain that you will not miss authentic email messages. Switching to some other protection level or deactivating the protection is also easy and takes several clicks.
