Most email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unasked-for messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may be duped. That is why, a lot of email service providers resort to email filters, which are apps that ‘scan’ all inbound email messages and filter the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email message contains and how often they are referred to, what website a certain hyperlink redirects to, what email server the email message is sent from, and so on. Certain web hosting companies also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unasked-for email messages, to ensure that their clients will not get any email in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Web Hosting
If you reach the decision to host your domains with our company and you choose any of our Linux web hosting packages, you’ll be able to set up anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you create. With a few clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can set up 5 different levels of protection. In case you still get junk email messages or the filters start preventing legitimate messages from reaching your inbox, you can switch to a different level just as easily. The efficiency of our anti-spam solution is ensured by one of the most popular email filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk omitting a genuine email message that may be regarded as spam because of its content, you can also configure custom spam filters based on the body, the sender or the subject of the message and re-send the emails to a different mailbox where you can review them later.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server packages come with top-notch anti-spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin spam filter, which rates all inbound emails on the basis of a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of specific keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you activate the filter for any mailbox through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can select between 5 separate security levels – from very low to very high. If you continue to get junk messages, you can increase the level, or if genuine messages are reported as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection requires as little as 2 clicks and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted instantaneously or if they should be redirected to a designated mailbox where you can read them at a later time, so as to make sure that valuable emails will not disappear.
