A spam filter is a software application that hinders unwanted emails from entering a particular inbox. An enormous percentage of the email communication around the globe is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or money, fake banking notifications, etc. Because of this, it is quite important to enable filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any possibility of being duped in some way. Spam filters detect various things, so as to provide better protection – specific words 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 companies frequently make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases to make email filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting authentic email messages, even if they include suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Hosting
Our hosting servers rely on one of the very best anti-spam filters out there. It is called SpamAssassin and is available with each and every shared web hosting package, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can select one of the 5 levels of protection that the anti-spam filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can do this with just 2 mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all hosting accounts. SpamAssassin ‘scans’ the header and the body of each and every email message, calculates a spam score and then continues according to the level that you’ve chosen. Each mailbox can have a different level and you can select if the emails that the filter marks as spam should be erased or forwarded to another email address where you can examine them at a later time, so as to avoid erasing a genuine email message. Switching to some other level or deactivating the spam protection is also truly easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted in your account, you will be able to enable the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide and keep all unwanted messages out of your mailbox. This feature is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox whenever you want. You can also adjust the protection level with a few clicks of the mouse in case unsolicited bulk email messages still appear in your inbox or the anti-spam filter starts removing legitimate messages. As you can select if the spam should be erased momentarily or delivered to some other email account, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t miss an email message that you need. The messages that the anti-spam filter permits to go through will still be received in your inbox.
