Spam Filters
Read more about spam filters - exactly what they are, how they work and how to create one.
Most emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unrequested messages with different offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may get duped. That’s the reason why a lot of email providers rely on spam filters, which are applications that keep track of all incoming email messages and filter the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email consists of and how often they’re mentioned, what web site a particular hyperlink leads to, what email server the message is sent from, etc. Some providers also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about undesirable messages, to make sure that their clients will not get any message in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
If you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you pick any of our
shared service, you will be able to set up spam filters for any mailbox that you set up. With a few clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between 5 separate safety levels. If you still get junk emails or the filters start preventing legitimate emails from reaching your inbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The quality of our spam filtering solution is ensured by one of the most famous filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk skipping a genuine message that may be blocked as spam due to its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and redirect the emails to some other mailbox where you can examine them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you use a
semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more email addresses with any of the domains hosted in the account, you will be able to activate the advanced, 5-level SpamAssassin anti-spam filter that we offer and keep all unwanted messages out of your mailbox. This service is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any mailbox at any time. You can also adjust the protection level with a couple of clicks of the mouse if unsolicited bulk messages still appear in your mailbox or the email filter starts erasing genuine email messages. Since you can choose if the spam should be erased straight away or forwarded to a separate email account, you can create spam@domain.com, for example, and check all filtered emails there, so as to make sure that you will not omit an email message that you require. The messages that the spam filter permits to proceed will still be received in your inbox.
