Most email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unsolicited messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a risk to your own computer, not to mention that you may be duped. This is the reason why lots of email providers use email filters, which are software applications that monitor all incoming messages and filter out the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email consists of and how often they are mentioned, what web site a particular hyperlink opens, what SMTP mail server the message is sent from, etc. Certain hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about undesirable emails, to make certain that their customers will not receive any email in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.
Spam Filters in Web Hosting
If you reach the decision to host your domain names with our company and you select any of our Linux web hosting, you’ll be able to enable spam filters for any email account that you create. With several mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can set up 5 different security levels. If you still receive junk emails or the email filters start preventing authentic email messages from reaching your inbox, you can change the level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam filtering service is ensured by one of the most widely used spam filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk skipping an authentic message that may be considered spam because of its content, you can also set up custom filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and forward the emails to a different mailbox where you can read them at a later time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you use a semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you set up one or more email accounts with any of the domains hosted under your account, you will be able to activate the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer and keep all undesirable emails out of your mailbox. This option is accessible through the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it can be enabled or disabled for any mailbox whenever you like. You can also change the safety level with a few clicks in case spam messages continue to enter your inbox or the spam filter starts removing authentic messages. Since you can select whether the spam should be erased instantaneously or forwarded to a separate mailbox, you can set up spam@domain.com, for example, and check all filtered emails there, so as to ensure that you will not miss a message that you need. The email messages that the spam filter permits to proceed will still appear in your mailbox.
