Most email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also pose a risk to your own computer, not to mention that you may get scammed. That is why, plenty of email service providers make use of email filters, which are software apps that monitor all inbound messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message consists of and how often they are cited, what web site a specific hyperlink opens, what email server the email message comes from, etc. Some web hosting companies also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unsolicited email messages, to make certain that their clients will not receive any email message in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting
The safety of any email account that you create in a cloud web hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin filter that we use. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with 5 levels of safety based on the spam score given to each message in accordance with different parameters, such as the frequency of specific words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk messages, you can always raise the level or if you are scared that you may miss a legitimate message, you can mix the automatic filter with a custom one and forward all messages from a particular sender to a different email address. In case you decide that you no longer require an email filter for a given email account, you can deactivate it with no more than a few clicks of the mouse.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans, you will not have to worry about junk email messages stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the famous SpamAssassin email filter that we offer with each and every semi-dedicated account. Our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks and you can pick any of the 5 levels of security – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for example, authentic messages get blocked, or if junk messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered email messages to be delivered to a special mailbox such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can check them from time to time to make sure that you have not missed an authentic message.
