Most of the emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unwelcome messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a risk to your personal computer, not to mention that you may get ripped off. That’s the reason why a lot of mail service providers resort to spam filters, which are apps that monitor all inbound messages and filter the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message consists of and how many times they are referred to, what website a given hyperlink opens, what outbound SMTP mail server the email message comes from, etc. Some web hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unwelcome emails, to make sure that their clients won’t receive any email message in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

The security of any mailbox that you create under a shared hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers 5 security levels based on the spam score given to each and every email depending on different criteria, such as the recurrence of given words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk messages, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may omit a legitimate email message, you can combine the automated spam filter with a custom one and forward all messages from a given sender to another email address. In case you decide that you no longer want anti-spam protection for a given email account, you can deactivate it with no more than several clicks.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you use one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, you will not have to worry about unsolicited bulk messages stuffing your mailboxes all the time, as you can take advantage of the famous SpamAssassin filter that we offer with each and every semi-dedicated server account. Our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to activate the filter for any email account with a couple of clicks of the mouse and you can pick any of the five levels of security – from very low to very high. The level can be changed at any time if, for instance, genuine messages get filtered, or if spam email messages go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered email messages to be delivered to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be deleted. Thus, you can go through them every now and then to make sure that you haven’t omitted an authentic email message.
