A spam filter is a software app that runs on a mail server and monitors all inbound email messages to obstruct any unasked-for ones from entering a particular mailbox. A few examples of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, false banking notices or attachments that contain malware sent with the intention to infect your computer. Spam filters usually examine the content of an email and in case they come across some keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email message or redirect it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some web hosting companies mix their own email filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to ensure better protection for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IP addresses and other information about spam email messages recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you order a shared hosting package from our company and if you make use of our email services, you’ll be able to activate spam filters for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With no more than several mouse clicks, you can pick between five different safety levels. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then gradually raise the level until you stop receiving spam. We use one of the very best and most popular email filters available called SpamAssassin. It examines the header and the body of each and every email that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a specific email message or permits it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to activate custom email filters and either eliminate undesirable messages or redirect them to a third-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can check them once more later.
