A spam filter is a software application that is installed on a POP3/IMAP email server and ‘scans’ all incoming emails to block any unwelcome ones from reaching a particular mailbox. Several examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, false banking notifications or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea to infect your computer. Spam filters typically check the content of an email and when they spot specific keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the message or re-send it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosts combine their own filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, email server IPs and other info about spam email messages recently revealed by these organizations.
Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
The security of any mailbox that you set up under a cloud hosting account with our company is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with five protection levels based on the spam score given to every email in accordance with various parameters, such as the recurrence of certain words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving junk messages, you can always increase the level or if you are scared that you may omit a genuine email, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a specific sender to a different email address. In case you reach the decision that you no longer require anti-spam protection for a specific mailbox, you can disable it with just a few clicks of the mouse.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with exceptional spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin anti-spam filter, which ranks all incoming emails on the basis of a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of particular keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you enable the filter for any account through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can choose between 5 different levels of safety – from very high to very low. If you keep receiving spam email messages, you can raise the level, or if authentic emails are tagged as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the anti-spam protection requires as little as two mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be deleted instantly or if they should be forwarded to a designated mailbox where you can examine them at a later time, so as to ensure that important emails will not get lost.
