An email filter is a software application that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP server and ‘scans’ all incoming email messages so as to block any unrequested ones from reaching a certain inbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, fake banking statements or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the intention of infecting your PC. Email filters usually ‘scan’ the content of an email message and in case they come across specific keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the message or redirect it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosts mix their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to ensure better safety for their customers. Such databases include patterns, email server IPs and other information about spam email messages recently detected by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting

If you decide to host your domains with our company and you pick any of our cloud web hosting, you will be able to activate anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you set up. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can switch between 5 different security levels. In case you continue to get unsolicited bulk email messages or the email filters start preventing genuine messages from entering your inbox, you can switch to a different level just as easily. The quality of our anti-spam service is ensured by one of the most famous spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you don’t want to risk omitting a legitimate email that may be considered spam due to its content, you can also create custom filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the email message and redirect the emails to a different email account where you can view them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages provide exceptional spam protection guaranteed by the popular SpamAssassin filter, which ranks all inbound messages based on a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of certain keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, etc. When you activate the filter for any email account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can select between five separate security levels – from very low to very high. If you keep receiving junk messages, you can raise the level, or if genuine email messages are blocked as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks of the mouse and you can choose if the filtered messages should be erased instantly or if they should be forwarded to a designated email address where you can examine them later, so as to make certain that important emails will not disappear.
