Spam Filters
Find out more on spam filters - exactly what they are, how they work and ways to create one.
Most email messages sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages aggravating, but they also present a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may be duped. Because of this, plenty of mail service providers rely on spam filters, which are software apps that keep track of all inbound emails and filter the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email consists of and how often they’re cited, what site a specific link opens, what outgoing server the email message is sent from, and so on. Some hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-detecting organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date info about unrequested emails, to make sure that their customers will not get any message in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting
In case you reach the decision to host your domains with our company and you choose any of our
website hosting, you will be able to activate spam filtering for any email address that you set up. With a couple of clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five different levels of protection. If you still get unsolicited bulk email messages or the filters start preventing legitimate emails from reaching your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The quality of our anti-spam service is guaranteed by one of the most widely used spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk missing a genuine message that may be considered as spam because of its content, you can also configure custom email filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and forward the emails to a separate email address where you can read them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a
semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you set up one or more email addresses with any of the domain names hosted under the account, you will be able to activate the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide and keep all unwelcome email messages away from your mailbox. This service is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account at any moment. You can also configure the level of safety with a couple of mouse clicks in case spam messages continue to appear in your inbox or the email filter begins deleting genuine email messages. Since you can choose whether the spam should be deleted instantaneously or delivered to a separate email account, you can create spam@domain.com, for example, and view all filtered emails there, so as to make sure that you won’t miss an email message that you require. The emails that the spam filter allows to go through will still appear in your mailbox.
