An email filter is a software application that runs on a POP3/IMAP email server and keeps track of all inbound emails so as to impede any unasked-for ones from reaching a specific mailbox. Several instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking notices or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea of infecting your computer. Email filters usually examine the content of an email and when they detect specific keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email message or forward it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some web hosting companies combine their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection for their customers. Such databases include patterns, email server IP addresses and other information about spam messages recently detected by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

The security of any email account that you create under a cloud hosting account with our company is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers 5 levels of security based on the spam score given to every message in accordance with different parameters, such as the frequency of given words, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving spam email messages, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may omit a legitimate email, you can mix the automated spam filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a specific sender to some other email address. In case you reach the decision that you no longer need a spam filter for a specific mailbox, you can deactivate it with only a few clicks of the mouse.
