A spam filter is a piece of software that runs on a POP3/IMAP mail server and ‘scans’ all incoming messages in order to block any undesired ones from reaching a specific inbox. Several examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, fake bank notifications or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the intention to infect your personal computer. Spam filters typically examine the content of an email message and if they come across certain keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the email or forward it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain companies combine their own filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to ensure better protection for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, email server IPs and other information about spam messages recently revealed by these organizations.
Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting
The safety of any mailbox that you create in a shared website hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin spam filter that we employ. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with five levels of safety based on the spam score given to each and every email message in accordance with different parameters, such as the frequency of particular words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving spam, you can always increase the level or if you are scared that you may omit a genuine email message, you can combine the automatic email filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a given sender to a different email account. If you reach the decision that you no longer want anti-spam protection for a given mailbox, you can disable it with only a couple of mouse clicks.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email addresses with any of the domain names hosted in the account, you’ll be able to activate the advanced, five-level SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer and keep all undesirable messages out of your inbox. This feature is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account at any time. You can also alter the level of safety with a few clicks in case junk messages still appear in your inbox or the spam filter starts removing authentic emails. Since you can select if the spam should be erased instantaneously or redirected to a separate email address, you can create [email protected], for example, and check all filtered email messages there, so as to ensure that you won’t miss an email that you require. The email messages that the email filter permits to go through will still be received in your inbox.
