An email filter is a piece of software that runs on a POP3/IMAP server and ‘scans’ all incoming emails in order to impede any unsolicited ones from reaching a particular inbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fake bank notices or attachments that contain malware sent with the intention of infecting your personal computer. Email filters typically check the content of an email and in case they detect specific keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the message or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some hosting providers combine their own filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to guarantee better protection for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, email server IPs and other info about spam email messages recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

The safety of any email account that you create in a cloud hosting account with us is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with 5 levels of safety based on the spam score it gives to each message in accordance with various criteria, such as the recurrence of given words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk emails, you can always raise the level or if you are scared that you may miss a legitimate message, you can combine the automated email filter with a custom one and forward all messages from a particular sender to a different email account. If you decide that you no longer want an email filter for a specific mailbox, you can disable it with no more than a couple of mouse clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts provide top spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin email filter, which ranks all inbound emails on the basis of a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the frequency of particular keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you enable the filter for any account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can select between five different safety levels – from very high to very low. If you continue to receive unsolicited bulk messages, you can increase the level, or if legitimate messages are mistaken for spam, you can lower it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection requires as little as two clicks of the mouse and you can select if the filtered messages should be deleted straight away or if they should be delivered to a chosen mailbox where you can examine them later, so as to make sure that the messages that you need won’t get lost.
