An email filter is a software app that runs on a POP3/IMAP mail server and ‘scans’ all inbound messages so as to stop any unwanted ones from entering a given mailbox. Several examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, false banking notices or email attachments that contain malware sent with the intention to damage your computer. Spam filters normally ‘scan’ the content of an email and in case they spot some keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the email message or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain hosting companies mix their own email filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection for their customers. Such databases include patterns, mail server IP addresses and other info about spam messages recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

The safety of any email account that you create under a cloud hosting account with us is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five safety levels based on the spam score given to each message depending on various parameters, such as the frequency of certain words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving junk emails, you can always raise the level or if you are scared that you may skip an authentic email, you can mix the automated email filter with a custom one and redirect all messages from a particular sender to some other email address. If you decide that you no longer need anti-spam protection for a specific email account, you can disable it with no more than a few clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts offer second-to-none anti-spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin filter, which ranks 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, etc. When you enable the filter for any email account through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can choose between five different protection levels – from very low to very high. If you keep getting spam email messages, you can raise the level, or if authentic email messages are mistaken for spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks of the mouse and you can select if the filtered emails should be deleted momentarily or if they should be redirected to a designated mailbox where you can read them at a later time, so as to make certain that valuable emails won’t get lost.
