An email filter is an app that obstructs unwanted messages from reaching a particular mailbox. A considerable percentage of the email communication around the world consists of spam messages: offers for pills or money, fake bank notifications, and so on. That is why, it’s extremely important to use filters to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being tricked in some way. Email filters detect various things, so as to ensure better security – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound mail server. Web hosting companies often rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-detecting organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to render email filtering easier and more effective without affecting legitimate messages, even if they contain suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Website Hosting
If you get a website hosting package from our company and if you make use of our mail services, you will be able to set up spam filters for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With only a couple of mouse clicks, you can choose between five different levels of security. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest one and then slowly boost the level until you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the very best and most popular spam filters available called SpamAssassin. It examines the header field and the body of each and every email that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain message or allows it to enter your inbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to set up custom email filters and either get rid of unasked-for email messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once again at a later point in time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email accounts with any of the domain names hosted in your account, you’ll be able to enable the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin filter that we provide and keep all unwanted messages out of your mailbox. This feature is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account at any moment. You can also alter the protection level with a few clicks if junk email messages continue to enter your inbox or the anti-spam filter starts deleting genuine emails. As you can choose whether the spam should be deleted momentarily or redirected to another email address, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered messages there, so as to make certain that you won’t omit an email that you need. The emails that the spam filter allows to go through will still appear in your inbox.
