An email filter is a piece of software that is installed on a POP3/IMAP server and keeps track of all incoming emails in order to hinder any unrequested ones from entering a certain inbox. Several examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, false banking notifications or attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea of infecting your personal computer. Email filters usually check the content of an email and in case they detect certain keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the email or re-send it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some web hosts mix their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to guarantee better security for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IPs and other information about spam email messages recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you decide to host your domains with our company and you pick any of our Linux cloud hosting services, you’ll be able to activate spam filtering for any mailbox that you create. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure 5 separate levels of security. If you continue to receive junk messages or the spam filters start preventing authentic messages from reaching your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The efficiency of our anti-spam service is guaranteed by one of the most famous filters – SpamAssassin. If you do not want to risk skipping an authentic email message that may be blocked as spam owing to its content, you can also set up custom filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and redirect the emails to a different email account where you can review them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated hosting, you won’t have to worry about unsolicited bulk messages stuffing your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can take advantage of the popular SpamAssassin filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our custom Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any mailbox with several clicks and you can pick any of the five protection levels – from very high to very low. The level can be altered at any time if, for instance, legitimate email messages get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered email messages to be redirected to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can check them from time to time to make certain that you haven’t omitted a genuine email message.
