Most of the email messages sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unsolicited messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a risk to your personal computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. This is why, lots of email service providers rely on spam filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all incoming emails and filter the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email contains and how often they are cited, what site a particular hyperlink redirects to, what outbound SMTP email server the email is sent from, and so on. Some web hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about unwelcome email messages, to make sure that their customers will not get any message in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domains with our company and you choose any of our shared website hosting services, you will be able to activate spam filters for any mailbox that you create. With a couple of clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can set up 5 separate levels of safety. In case you still get spam email messages or the spam filters start preventing authentic messages from reaching your inbox, you can switch to a different level just as easily. The quality of our spam detection solution is guaranteed by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk omitting a genuine message that may be classified as spam owing to its content, you can also set up custom spam filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and re-send the emails to a separate email address where you can review them later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you use one of our semi-dedicated hosting, you won’t need to worry about unsolicited bulk messages occupying your mailboxes all the time, as you can make use of the popular SpamAssassin email filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated hosting account. Our in-house created Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any mailbox with a few clicks and you can select any of the 5 protection levels – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any time if, for example, genuine emails get blocked, or if spam email messages go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered emails to be re-sent to a special email account like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can go through them every now and then to ensure that you haven’t missed out on a genuine email.
