A spam filter is a software app that prevents unsolicited messages from entering a particular mailbox. A huge percentage of the email traffic around the globe is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, sham banking notifications, etc. That is why, it’s very important to set up email filters in order to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being duped in some way. Filters detect various things, so as to provide higher levels of safety – particular words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing SMTP email server. Web hosting providers frequently resort to the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that provide up-to-date databases to render email filtering better and simpler without affecting authentic email messages, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

If you order a shared website hosting plan from our company and if you make use of our mail services, you’ll be able to enable spam filters for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With no more than a few clicks of the mouse, you can select between five different levels of safety. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then slowly raise the level until you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the very best and most famous filters out there called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header field and the body of each and every message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a given message or allows it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to configure custom filters and either get rid of undesirable email messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can view them once again after that.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

Thus, you can go through them from time to time to ensure that you have not missed out on an authentic email message.
