An email filter is a software app that is installed on a POP3/IMAP server and ‘scans’ all incoming messages to obstruct any unrequested ones from entering a given inbox. A few examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, fake bank notices or attachments that contain malware sent with the intention of infecting your computer. Email filters normally ‘scan’ the content of an email message and when they detect given keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the message or re-send it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosting companies mix their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to ensure higher levels of security for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IP addresses and other information about spam email messages recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

The protection of any email account that you set up in a cloud hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin filter that we use. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with 5 levels of security based on the spam score it gives to each email message in accordance with different parameters, such as the frequency of certain words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk emails, you can always increase the level or if you are afraid that you may skip a legitimate message, you can mix the automatic email filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a certain sender to some other email account. In case you reach the decision that you no longer need anti-spam protection for a given email account, you can deactivate it with no more than a few clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server packages provide first-rate anti-spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which classifies all incoming messages based on a spam score that depends on parameters and patterns, such as the recurrence of particular keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you enable the filter for any mailbox through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can pick between 5 separate levels of security – from very low to very high. If you still get junk messages, you can increase the level, or if genuine email messages are tagged as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection takes as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered email messages should be erased instantaneously or if they should be forwarded to a designated email account where you can view them at a later point in time, so as to make certain that important email messages won’t get lost.
