Spam Filters
Learn more about spam filters - what exactly they are, the way they work and ways to create one.
Most of the emails sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get ripped off. That’s why, many email providers use spam filters, which are software applications that monitor all incoming messages and filter the undesirable ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email contains and how often they’re referred to, what website a particular hyperlink opens, what outgoing SMTP email server the email comes from, etc. Certain hosting providers also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unrequested messages, to make certain that their clients won’t receive any email in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
In case you reach the decision to host your domains with our company and you select any of our
cloud hosting plans, you’ll be able to activate spam filters for any mailbox that you set up. With a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure 5 different security levels. In case you continue to get unsolicited bulk emails or the email filters start preventing legitimate messages from entering your inbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam detection solution is guaranteed by one of the most famous email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk omitting a legitimate email that may be flagged as spam owing to its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the email message and re-send the emails to a different mailbox where you can read them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you use 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 your account, you will be able to enable the powerful, five-level SpamAssassin email filter that we provide and keep all unwanted email messages out of your inbox. This feature is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account at any moment. You can also tweak the protection level with several mouse clicks in case unsolicited bulk email messages still enter your mailbox or the anti-spam filter begins deleting genuine email messages. Since you can select whether the spam should be deleted right away or forwarded to a separate email address, you can create spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered email messages there, so as to make sure that you won’t omit a message that you require. The messages that the email filter permits to proceed will still appear in your inbox.
