Spam Filters
Get familiar with e-mail spam filters, how they work and how you can activate them.
An email filter is an application that prevents undesirable emails from reaching a given inbox. A considerable percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, fake banking notifications, etc. That is why, it’s extremely important to use filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any possibility of being tricked somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to provide better safety – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound SMTP email server. Hosting providers frequently make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to render spam filtering better and easier without affecting genuine email messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you get a
semi-dedicated server package from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domains hosted under the account, you will be able to activate the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin email filter that we offer and keep all unwanted emails away from your inbox. This service is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any mailbox whenever you like. You can also alter the level of security with a couple of clicks of the mouse in case spam email messages continue to reach your inbox or the anti-spam filter begins removing genuine emails. Since you can choose if the spam should be deleted right away or re-sent to a different email address, you can set up spam@domain.com, for example, and view all filtered emails there, so as to ensure that you will not omit an email that you need. The messages that the email filter allows to proceed will still be delivered to your inbox.
