Most of the email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – unasked-for messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also pose a risk to your own computer, not to mention that you may get ripped off. Because of this, a lot of mail service providers make use of spam filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all incoming messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message includes and how often they’re cited, what website a certain link redirects to, what outbound SMTP mail server the message is sent from, etc. Certain providers also use the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unwelcome emails, to ensure that their customers will not get any email message in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domain names with us and you choose any of our Linux cloud hosting, you will be able to activate spam filters for any email account that you create. With several mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can switch between 5 different security levels. If you still get spam messages or the spam filters start preventing legitimate emails from reaching your mailbox, you can switch to a different level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam protection service is ensured by one of the most famous email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk missing a genuine message that may be considered as spam owing to its content, you can also configure custom spam filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and re-send the emails to a separate mailbox where you can review them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting, you won’t need to worry about junk messages filling up your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated server account. Our custom-developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any email account with several mouse clicks and you can select one of the five levels of security – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any moment if, for example, genuine messages get blocked, or if spam messages go through and appear in your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be delivered to a special mailbox like [email protected] and not to be deleted. Thus, you can check them from time to time to ensure that you have not omitted an authentic email message.
