Most of the email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. unsolicited messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get conned. For this reason, lots of email service providers resort to email filters, which are applications that keep track of all inbound emails and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message consists of and how many times they’re cited, what web site a specific hyperlink leads to, what outgoing mail server the email is sent from, and so on. Certain hosting companies also use the databases of spam-tracking organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about undesired email messages, to ensure that their clients won’t get any email in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

In case you decide to host your domains with our company and you choose any of our shared hosting plans, you will be able to set up anti-spam protection for any email address that you set up. With several mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure five different levels of protection. If you still get junk messages or the spam filters start preventing genuine messages from entering your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our spam filtering solution is guaranteed by one of the most popular spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk omitting a legitimate email that may be considered spam due to its content, you can also configure custom spam filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and forward the emails to another email address where you can review them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated plans, you won’t need to worry about junk messages cramming your mailboxes every now and then, as you can make use of the popular SpamAssassin filter that we offer with every account. Our custom-created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any email account with several clicks of the mouse and you can pick any of the 5 levels of security – from very low to very high. The level can be altered at any time if, for instance, genuine messages get blocked, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered email messages to be forwarded to a special mailbox such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can examine them from time to time to make sure that you have not missed a legitimate email message.
