Most emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – undesired messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a threat to your personal computer, not to mention that you may be duped. That is the reason why lots of mail service providers make use of email filters, which are software applications that monitor all incoming email messages and filter the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email contains and how many times they’re cited, what web site a specific link leads to, what outbound mail server the email message is sent from, and so on. Some hosting companies also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date info about unwanted email messages, to make sure that their customers will not receive any email message in their mailbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting

If you decide to host your domains with us and you pick any of our website hosting, you will be able to set up anti-spam protection for any email address that you set up. With a couple of clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can switch between 5 different levels of security. In case you continue to receive unsolicited bulk emails or the spam filters start preventing legitimate messages from reaching your inbox, you can change the level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam filtering solution is ensured by one of the most popular email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk missing an authentic message that may be classified as spam due to its content, you can also configure custom spam filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and forward the emails to another email address where you can check them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated servers, you won’t have to worry about unsolicited bulk email messages occupying your mailboxes every now and then, as you can make use of the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with every account. Our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks of the mouse and you can select any of the five safety levels – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any moment if, for instance, genuine email messages get filtered, or if junk messages go through and appear in your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered email messages to be re-sent to a special email account like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can go through them from time to time to ensure that you haven’t missed a legitimate email.
