Most of the email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. undesirable messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages aggravating, but they also present a risk to your PC, not to mention that you may be scammed. Because of this, plenty of email providers use email filters, which are applications that monitor all incoming emails and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message contains and how many times they are mentioned, what website a certain link points to, what mail server the email is sent from, and so on. Certain hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-tracking organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about unwelcome emails, to make sure that their clients won’t receive any email in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domain names with our company and you select any of our shared hosting plans, you will be able to set up anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you create. With several clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure 5 separate levels of security. In case you still receive unsolicited bulk emails or the email filters start preventing genuine messages from entering your inbox, you can change the level just as easily. The quality of our spam detection service is ensured by one of the most famous email filters – SpamAssassin. In case you don’t want to risk skipping an authentic email message that may be considered spam because of its content, you can also create custom filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the email message and forward the emails to a different mailbox where you can read them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you won’t have to worry about junk messages clogging your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated server account. Our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with several mouse clicks and you can choose any of the 5 levels of security – from very low to very high. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, legitimate email messages get filtered, or if spam messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be forwarded to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can go through them from time to time to ensure that you have not missed out on an authentic email.
