Most email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – unrequested messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a risk to your PC, not to mention that you may be conned. That’s the reason why numerous mail service providers resort to spam filters, which are applications that ‘scan’ all incoming emails and filter out the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message includes and how often they are cited, what site a certain hyperlink opens, what mail server the message comes from, and so on. Certain providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unwanted emails, to make certain that their clients won’t get any message in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
The security of any mailbox that you create in a shared hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with 5 protection levels based on the spam score given to each and every email message depending on various criteria, such as the frequency of specific words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may omit an authentic email message, you can combine the automated filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a certain sender to another email account. If you decide that you no longer want an email filter for a particular email account, you can deactivate it with no more than a few mouse clicks.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting service, you will not need to worry about junk emails cramming your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can make use of the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with each and every account. Our custom Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a couple of mouse clicks and you can choose any of the five safety levels – from very low to very high. The level can be changed at any time if, for example, genuine messages get blocked, or if spam emails go through and appear in your inbox. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered messages to be delivered to a special email account like spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. In this way, you can go through them from time to time to make certain that you have not omitted an authentic email message.
