An email filter is an app that hinders undesired email messages from reaching a given inbox. A huge percentage of the email traffic around the globe consists of spam emails: offers for pills or money, fake bank notifications, and so on. This is why, it’s quite important to set up filters to avoid not only spam messages, but also any possibility of being duped in some way. Filters detect different things, so as to deliver higher levels of security – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Hosting providers often resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to render email filtering easier and more effective without affecting authentic email messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting
The protection of any mailbox that you set up under a shared web hosting account with us is guaranteed 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 offers five protection levels based on the spam score it gives to every message in accordance with different criteria, such as the recurrence of certain words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam emails, you can always increase the level or if you’re afraid that you may miss a genuine email, you can combine the automated email filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a particular sender to some other email account. In case you decide that you no longer require an email filter for a specific mailbox, you can deactivate it with just a few clicks.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server plans offer second-to-none spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin filter, which classifies all incoming emails on the basis of a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of certain keywords, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you activate the filter for any email account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can pick between five separate levels – from very low to very high. If you continue to get unsolicited bulk emails, you can raise the level, or if genuine messages are mistaken for spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks of the mouse and you can select if the filtered email messages should be erased momentarily or if they should be redirected to a chosen mailbox where you can check them at a later time, so as to ensure that valuable email messages will not disappear.
