An email filter is a software app that runs on a POP3/IMAP email server and monitors all inbound messages in order to block any unrequested ones from entering a particular inbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent bank statements or email attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea to infect your computer. Spam filters typically ‘scan’ the content of an email message and in case they come across given keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the email or re-send it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some hosting companies mix their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety for their customers. Such databases include patterns, mail server IPs and other info about spam email messages recently revealed by these organizations.
Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting
If you order a cloud web hosting plan from us and if you take advantage of our email services, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just a few mouse clicks, you can pick between five different levels of security. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest one and then gradually raise the level until you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the very best and most famous spam filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header and the body of each message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain email or permits it to enter your inbox. Hepsia will also permit you to activate custom email filters and either erase undesired messages or send them to a third-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can read them once more after that.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you decide to use the email service that comes with our semi-dedicated plans, you can keep all unwelcome messages away from your inbox by activating the five-level anti-spam protection service that we provide with each package. This can be accomplished via the full-featured Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we rely on the powerful SpamAssassin email filter to make sure that we provide the best possible security for our clients. You can have a different anti-spam level for each mailbox and you can choose if the filtered messages should be erased or re-sent to a separate email account where you can read them later so as to make sure that you will not lose authentic messages. Switching to a different level or disabling the protection is also easy and requires several clicks of the mouse.
