An email filter is a piece of software that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP mail server and ‘scans’ all inbound emails to prevent any undesired ones from reaching a certain mailbox. Several examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking notices or attachments that contain malicious code sent with the intention to damage your computer. Spam filters normally ‘scan’ the content of an email and when they detect given keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email message or deliver it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some providers mix their own email filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to ensure higher levels of security for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, email server IPs and other info about spam emails recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting

The safety of any mailbox that you set up in a cloud web hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin filter that we use. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers five protection levels based on the spam score it gives to each message depending on different criteria, such as the frequency of particular words, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting spam, you can always increase the level or if you are scared that you may miss an authentic message, you can mix the automated email filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a certain sender to a separate email address. In case you reach the decision that you no longer require an email filter for a certain email account, you can deactivate it with no more than a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to use the email service that comes with our semi-dedicated packages, you can keep all unsolicited messages out of your inbox by enabling the 5-level anti-spam protection service that we provide with every package. This can be accomplished via the feature-laden Email Manager section of the Control Panel and we use the powerful SpamAssassin filter to make certain that we offer the very best possible protection for our clients. You can have a different level of protection for each email account and you can choose if the filtered emails should be erased or delivered to a different email address where you can view them at a later point in time to ensure that you will not miss legitimate messages. Switching to another level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also easy and takes a couple of clicks of the mouse.
