A spam filter is a software app that is installed on a mail server and ‘scans’ all inbound emails so as to hinder any unwelcome ones from reaching a particular mailbox. A few instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, false bank statements or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea of damaging your personal computer. Spam filters usually examine the content of an email message and if they detect specific keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email or redirect it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain hosting providers mix their own spam filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of security for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IP addresses and other info about spam emails recently reported by these organizations.
Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting servers employ one of the very best spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with each and every package, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can choose one of the five safety levels that the filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can do this with just two clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the body of every email, calculates a spam score and then continues in accordance with the level that you’ve opted for. Every mailbox can have a different level and you can select whether the emails that the filter considers as spam should be deleted or redirected to some other email account where you can check them at a later point in time, so as to prevent deleting an authentic email. Switching to another level or disabling the protection is also exceptionally easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you decide to use the email service that is offered with our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you can keep all unsolicited messages away from your inbox by enabling the 5-level spam protection service that we offer with each and every semi-dedicated hosting package. This can be done through the full-featured Email Manager section of the Control Panel and we use the advanced SpamAssassin filter to make sure that we provide the best possible security for our customers. You can have a different protection level for each email account and you can choose if the filtered emails should be deleted or delivered to some other email address where you can view them later to make certain that you will not skip authentic email messages. Switching to another level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also easy and requires a couple of clicks.
