An email filter is an app that prevents unwelcome email messages from reaching a given mailbox. A large percentage of the email traffic around the world involves spam messages: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking notifications, and so on. Because of this, it is pretty important to activate email filters to avoid not only spam messages, but also any chance of being ripped off in some way. Filters detect various things, so as to provide better protection – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing email server. Web hosts often rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases to make spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting legitimate emails, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting

If you decide to host your domains with our company and you choose any of our Linux website hosting packages, you will be able to enable spam filtering for any mailbox that you set up. With a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 separate protection levels. In case you continue to receive junk messages or the email filters start preventing legitimate email messages from entering your inbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The quality of our spam filtering service is ensured by one of the most famous filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk skipping a legitimate email that may be flagged as spam due to its content, you can also set up custom email filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the email message and re-send the emails to another email account where you can check them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages, you won’t need to worry about unsolicited bulk email messages occupying your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin filter that we offer with each semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with several clicks and you can choose one of the 5 safety levels – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any time if, for instance, authentic emails get blocked, or if unsolicited bulk messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be redirected to a special email account like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can examine them from time to time to make certain that you haven’t missed out on an authentic message.
