Most email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unasked-for messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also pose a risk to your own PC, not to mention that you may be tricked. This is why, numerous mail service providers rely on email filters, which are software apps that monitor all incoming messages and filter the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message contains and how many times they’re mentioned, what web site a specific link points to, what outbound mail server the message is sent from, and so on. Certain companies also make use of the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about unwanted email messages, to make sure that their clients will not get any message in their mailbox that should not be there.
Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting servers use one of the best anti-spam filters available. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with each and every plan, so in case you host your domain names with our company, you can select one of the five protection levels that the spam filter offers for any mailbox that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with only 2 clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all shared accounts. SpamAssassin ‘scans’ the header field and the content of each email message, calculates a spam score and then proceeds on the basis of the level that you have picked. Each email account can have a different setting and you can select if the emails that the filter classifies as spam should be erased or forwarded to some other email account where you can review them at a later point in time, so as to avoid deleting an authentic message. Switching to some other level or deactivating the protection is also surprisingly easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email accounts with any of the domain names hosted under the account, you will be able to activate the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we provide and keep all undesirable emails away from your inbox. This functionality is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account whenever you wish. You can also fine-tune the level of protection with a few mouse clicks if junk email messages continue to reach your inbox or the spam filter begins deleting authentic messages. Since you can choose if the spam should be deleted straight away or forwarded to another email address, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered email messages there, so as to make sure that you won’t miss an email message that you need. The emails that the filter permits to proceed will still appear in your mailbox.
