An email filter is an application that obstructs unwelcome email messages from reaching a particular inbox. A substantial percentage of the email communication around the globe is composed of spam emails: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent bank notifications, and so on. For this reason, it is pretty important to enable email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any chance of being swindled somehow. Spam filters detect different things, so as to ensure better security – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s email server. Hosting companies often use the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases to render email filtering easier and more effective without affecting legitimate messages, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting

The security of any email account that you create under a website hosting account with us is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five protection levels based on the spam score it gives to each message depending on different criteria, such as the recurrence of specific words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam emails, you can always raise the level or if you’re scared that you may miss a legitimate message, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a specific sender to a separate email account. If you reach the decision that you no longer require a spam filter for a specific mailbox, you can disable it with only a couple of mouse clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more email addresses with any of the domain names hosted under the account, you’ll be able to enable the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide and keep all unwanted email messages away from your inbox. This feature is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account whenever you wish. You can also tweak the level of security with a few clicks in case junk emails still appear in your inbox or the spam filter begins deleting genuine email messages. Since you can select whether the spam should be deleted momentarily or redirected to another email address, you can create spam@domain.com, for example, and view all filtered messages there, so as to make sure that you won’t miss an email that you need. The emails that the anti-spam filter allows to go through will still be delivered to your inbox.
