An email filter is a software application that stops unwelcome email messages from entering a given mailbox. An immense percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or money, false banking notifications, etc. Because of this, it is quite important to use filters in order to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being scammed in some way. Filters detect various things, so as to provide higher levels of security – certain words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing server. Web hosting providers often use the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to make spam filtering easier and more effective without affecting legitimate messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you pick any of our Linux shared website hosting packages, you will be able to activate spam filters for any mailbox that you create. With several mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 separate safety levels. If you still get spam emails or the spam filters start preventing authentic emails from reaching your mailbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our anti-spam solution is guaranteed by one of the most widely used filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk skipping a genuine message that may be considered as spam due to its content, you can also configure custom spam filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and redirect the emails to a separate email address where you can view them at a later point in time.
