Spam Filters
Get familiar with e-mail spam filters, the things they do and how to enable them.
Most of the emails sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unwanted messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also pose a risk to your personal computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. That’s the reason why a lot of email providers make use of email filters, which are software applications that monitor all inbound emails and filter out the undesired ones based on their content – what words an email message consists of and how many times they’re cited, what site a particular hyperlink opens, what outgoing server the email message comes from, and so on. Certain providers also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about unwanted messages, to make certain that their customers won’t get any email message in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
Our
shared hosting servers rely on one of the very best anti-spam filters available. It is called SpamAssassin and is available with each hosting plan, so in case you host your domains with us, you can opt for one of the five safety levels that the anti-spam filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can do this with just two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all cloud web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header and the content of each message, calculates a spam score and then continues based on the level that you have chosen. Each email account can have a different setting and you can choose whether the messages that the filter labels as spam should be erased or re-sent to a different email account where you can view them at a later time, so as to prevent deleting an authentic email message. Switching to another level or deactivating the spam protection is also quite easy.
