An email filter is a software app that’s installed on a mail server and monitors all incoming messages so as to block any undesired ones from entering a particular inbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fake banking notices or attachments that contain malware sent with the intention to damage your PC. Email filters typically examine the content of an email message and in case they spot given keywords or other suspicious content, they either erase the email message or deliver it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some web hosting providers mix their own filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to ensure better security for their clients. Such databases include patterns, email server IPs and other information about spam emails recently detected by these organizations.
Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting servers employ one of the very best spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with every web hosting package, so if you host your domain names with our company, you can choose one of the 5 safety levels that the filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can do this with only 2 mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all cloud hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header and the content of each and every email, gives it a spam score and then continues in accordance with the level that you have picked. Every email account can have a different level and you can select if the emails that the filter considers as spam should be erased or re-sent to some other mailbox where you can check them at a later time, so as to avoid deleting a genuine email message. Switching to some other level or disabling the protection is also really easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts provide excellent anti-spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which ranks all incoming messages based on a spam score that depends on patterns and parameters, such as the frequency of certain keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, etc. When you enable the filter for any mailbox via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can choose between 5 separate levels – from very high to very low. If you keep getting spam emails, you can increase the level, or if authentic email messages are flagged as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection requires as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be deleted immediately or if they should be delivered to a designated email address where you can review them later, so as to make sure that valuable email messages won’t disappear.
