An email filter is a software application that’s installed on an email server and keeps track of all incoming email messages in order to impede any unrequested ones from entering a certain inbox. Several instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, fake bank statements or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea of infecting your personal computer. Email filters normally examine the content of an email message and if they spot some keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the message or re-send it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosts mix their own email filters with up-to-date databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety for their clients. Such databases include patterns, email server IP addresses and other information about spam messages recently detected by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domains with our company and you pick any of our Linux shared website hosting, you’ll be able to set up anti-spam protection for any email address that you create. With a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five different levels of safety. In case you continue to get spam or the spam filters start preventing legitimate messages from reaching your mailbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The quality of our spam protection solution is ensured by one of the most popular filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk omitting a genuine email message that may be blocked as spam owing to its content, you can also create custom filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and redirect the emails to another mailbox where you can review them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you won’t need to worry about spam messages occupying your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can take advantage of the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks of the mouse and you can choose one of the five levels of protection – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any time if, for instance, legitimate messages get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk messages go through and reach your inbox. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered email messages to be re-sent to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can check them every now and then to make certain that you have not missed a genuine email message.
