Most email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – unrequested messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also pose a risk to your own computer, not to mention that you may be scammed. That is why, plenty of mail service providers resort to spam filters, which are software apps that monitor all incoming emails and filter the undesirable ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email consists of and how often they are cited, what web site a particular link points to, what outgoing SMTP email server the message is sent from, and so on. Some hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracking organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date info about unsolicited messages, to ensure that their customers won’t receive any email in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you select any of our web hosting, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any email address that you set up. With a couple of clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five different safety levels. In case you still get junk messages or the email filters start preventing authentic email messages from reaching your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam protection solution is ensured by one of the most famous filters – SpamAssassin. If you do not want to risk skipping an authentic email that may be considered spam because of its content, you can also set up custom email filters based on the body, the sender or the subject of the message and forward the emails to a different email account where you can read them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you use one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting service, you won’t have to worry about unsolicited bulk messages cramming your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with every semi-dedicated server account. Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks of the mouse and you can pick one of the five protection levels – from very low to very high. The level can be changed at any moment if, for example, legitimate email messages get filtered, or if spam emails go through and reach your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered email messages to be forwarded to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can check them from time to time to make certain that you have not missed out on a genuine email message.
