"> '); Spam Filters
Most of the emails sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unwanted messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a risk to your own computer, not to mention that you may get tricked. For this reason, a lot of email service providers resort to spam filters, which are software applications that monitor all incoming emails and filter out the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email contains and how many times they are cited, what web site a particular hyperlink points to, what SMTP mail server the email message comes from, etc. Some providers also rely on the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about undesired messages, to make certain that their clients won’t get any email message in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

If you order a shared web hosting package from our company and if you make use of our mail services, you will be able to activate spam filtering for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just a couple of mouse clicks, you can pick between five different protection levels. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest level and then slowly boost the level till you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the very best and most famous filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It examines the header section and the body of each and every email message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain email message or permits it to reach your inbox. Hepsia will also allow you to set up custom spam filters and either delete unsolicited messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can view them once more at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you take advantage of one of our semi-dedicated servers, you will not have to worry about spam email messages clogging your mailboxes all the time, as you can resort to the popular SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with every account. Our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel will permit you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a couple of clicks of the mouse and you can choose one of the 5 security levels – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for example, genuine email messages get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be redirected to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can examine them every now and then to make certain that you haven’t missed a legitimate email.
