Most of the email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. unasked-for messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also pose a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may get tricked. That’s the reason why numerous email service providers rely on spam filters, which are software apps that ‘scan’ all incoming email messages and filter out the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message consists of and how often they’re referred to, what website a certain link opens, what server the email message is sent from, etc. Certain companies also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date info about unsolicited messages, to make sure that their clients will not receive any message in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domain names with us and you select any of our Linux web hosting, you will be able to activate anti-spam protection for any email account that you create. With a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 different levels of safety. In case you continue to receive unsolicited bulk email messages or the email filters start preventing authentic emails from reaching your inbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The quality of our spam filtering service is guaranteed by one of the most popular email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk skipping an authentic email that may be considered as spam due to its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and forward the emails to some other email account where you can read them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you use one of our semi-dedicated servers, you will not have to worry about junk emails stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can take advantage of the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated account. Our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with a couple of clicks of the mouse and you can pick any of the five levels of security – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any moment if, for instance, genuine messages get filtered, or if spam messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be forwarded to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can go through them from time to time to make certain that you have not missed a genuine email.
