Most email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unsolicited messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also pose a risk to your own PC, not to mention that you may get conned. That is why, lots of mail service providers rely on spam filters, which are software applications that monitor all incoming email messages and filter the undesirable ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how often they’re referred to, what website a given hyperlink leads to, what SMTP mail server the email comes from, and so on. Certain web hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unasked-for emails, to ensure that their customers will not get any email message in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

If you decide to host your domains with us and you choose any of our Linux cloud website hosting service, you will be able to activate anti-spam protection for any email account that you create. With a few clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure five separate safety levels. If you still get unsolicited bulk emails or the email filters start preventing authentic email messages from reaching your inbox, you can switch to a different level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam detection solution is ensured by one of the most famous filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk missing a genuine email that may be considered spam because of its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and re-send the emails to a separate email address where you can view them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you use one of our semi-dedicated servers, you won’t need to worry about unsolicited bulk messages occupying your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can resort to the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with several clicks and you can select any of the five levels of safety – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, authentic emails get filtered, or if spam email messages go through and reach your inbox. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be redirected to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can examine them every now and then to make sure that you have not missed out on a legitimate email message.
