An email filter is a software app that is installed on a POP3/IMAP email server and monitors all inbound messages so as to block any undesirable ones from entering a given mailbox. Several instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, fake banking notices or attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea of damaging your computer. Email filters typically check the content of an email and if they spot given keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the message or deliver it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosting providers combine their own email filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to ensure better security for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IPs and other info about spam email messages recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting package from us and if you use our email services, you will be able to activate spam filtering for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just a couple of clicks, you can pick between 5 separate levels of safety. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then slowly boost the level till you stop receiving spam. We use one of the best and most famous email filters available called SpamAssassin. It checks the header and the body of each and every email that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular message or permits it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to activate custom email filters and either get rid of unsolicited emails or send them to a 3rd-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can check them once again afterwards.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you reach the decision to use the email service that is offered with our semi-dedicated packages, you can keep all undesirable messages away from your mailbox by enabling the 5-level anti-spam protection service that we offer with every semi-dedicated hosting package. This can be done through the feature-stuffed Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we employ the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter to ensure that we provide the best possible protection for our customers. You can have a different protection level for each email account and you can select if the filtered email messages should be erased or delivered to another mailbox where you can read them at a later time to make certain that you are not losing legitimate emails. Switching to another level or disabling the protection is also easy and takes a few clicks of the mouse.
