Most of the emails sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unasked-for messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a risk to your own PC, not to mention that you may be duped. That’s the reason why many email providers resort to spam filters, which are applications that ‘scan’ all inbound messages and filter the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email consists of and how often they’re mentioned, what web site a given link points to, what outgoing SMTP mail server the email is sent from, and so on. Certain web hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute info about unasked-for email messages, to ensure that their clients won’t get any email message in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting servers use one of the best anti-spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with each package, so in case you host your domains with us, you can pick one of the 5 levels of protection that the filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can accomplish this with only 2 clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header and the content of each and every message, calculates a spam score and then proceeds on the basis of the level that you have picked. Each email account can have a different level and you can choose whether the email messages that the filter considers as spam should be deleted or redirected to some other mailbox where you can check them at a later time, so as to avoid deleting an authentic email message. Switching to another level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also quite easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server packages deliver top anti-spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin spam filter, which classifies all inbound messages based on a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of particular keywords, the subject, the sender, and so on. When you enable the filter for any mailbox through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can choose between five different levels of security – from very low to very high. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk emails, you can increase the level, or if genuine messages are marked as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection requires as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can select if the filtered messages should be erased momentarily or if they should be redirected to a designated mailbox where you can check them later, so as to ensure that important emails will not disappear.
