Most of the email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. undesired messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also present a threat to your own computer, not to mention that you may be scammed. For this reason, lots of mail service providers use email filters, which are applications that keep track of all inbound messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how often they’re mentioned, what web site a given link redirects to, what outbound SMTP email server the email message comes from, and so on. Some web hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about undesirable email messages, to ensure that their clients won’t get any message in their inbox that should not be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting servers use one of the best anti-spam filters out there. It is called SpamAssassin and is included with each and every shared hosting package, so if you host your domain names with us, you can opt for one of the five protection levels that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can do this with just two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all shared accounts. SpamAssassin ‘scans’ the header and the body of each and every email, gives it a spam score and then proceeds in accordance with the level that you have chosen. Every mailbox can have a different level and you can choose whether the emails that the spam filter marks as spam should be erased or delivered to a different email address where you can review them later, so as to avoid deleting a legitimate message. Switching to a different level or deactivating the protection is also quite easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you reach the decision to make use of the email service that is offered with our Linux semi-dedicated hosting services, you can keep all undesirable email messages away from your inbox by enabling the 5-level spam protection that we provide with every semi-dedicated hosting package. This can be done through the feature-rich Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we use the powerful SpamAssassin filter to make certain that we provide the best possible protection for our clients. You can have a different anti-spam level for each mailbox and you can select if the filtered email messages should be erased or redirected to some other email account where you can view them later so as to make certain that you won’t omit legitimate messages. Switching to another level of protection or disabling the anti-spam protection is also easy and takes several clicks.
