An email filter is an app that obstructs unsolicited messages from entering a particular inbox. An immense percentage of the email traffic around the globe is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, forged banking notifications, and so on. This is why, it is quite important to activate email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being scammed in some way. Email filters detect different things, so as to provide higher levels of security – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Web hosting companies often resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to render spam filtering better and simpler without affecting authentic email messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting

If you order a website hosting plan from us and if you use our email services, you will be able to activate spam filters for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can select between 5 separate protection levels. In case you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then gradually boost the level until you stop receiving spam. We use one of the very best and most popular filters available called SpamAssassin. It checks the header field and the body of each and every email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a certain email message or permits it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to activate custom filters and either erase undesirable emails or send them to a third-party address like spam@domain.com where you can view them once more later.
