An email filter is a software app that is installed on a POP3/IMAP mail server and ‘scans’ all incoming messages to obstruct any unasked-for ones from entering a particular mailbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent bank statements or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the intention to infect your PC. Email filters usually ‘scan’ the content of an email and when they detect particular keywords or other suspicious content, they either erase the email or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some hosting companies combine their own filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety for their clients. Such databases include patterns, email server IP addresses and other information about spam messages recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

The protection of any email account that you create in a web hosting account with our company is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers 5 safety levels based on the spam score it gives to each email in accordance with different criteria, such as the recurrence of specific words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving spam, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may miss a genuine email, you can combine the automated spam filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a given sender to another mailbox. In case you reach the decision that you no longer want an email filter for a particular mailbox, you can disable it with just a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you use a semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more email accounts with any of the domains hosted under your account, you will be able to activate the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin filter that we provide and keep all undesired messages out of your mailbox. This option is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be enabled or disabled for any email account whenever you like. You can also configure the level of security with a couple of clicks of the mouse if unsolicited bulk emails still reach your mailbox or the anti-spam filter starts deleting genuine messages. Since you can choose whether the spam should be deleted instantaneously or delivered to a different email address, you can set up spam@domain.com, for example, and view all filtered messages there, so as to ensure that you will not omit an email message that you require. The emails that the anti-spam filter permits to proceed will still be delivered to your inbox.
