Most of the emails sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – unwelcome messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a threat to your computer, not to mention that you may get swindled. This is why, plenty of email providers make use of email filters, which are software applications that monitor all inbound messages and filter out the undesirable ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how many times they’re referred to, what site a given hyperlink opens, what outgoing SMTP server the email is sent from, and so on. Some hosting providers also use the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unsolicited emails, to ensure that their customers will not 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 spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with each and every cloud web hosting package, so if you host your domain names with us, you can select one of the 5 security levels that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can do this with just two clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header and the body of every email, calculates a spam score and then continues in accordance with the level that you’ve picked. Every email account can have a different setting and you can select whether the email messages that the spam filter labels as spam should be erased or re-sent to a different mailbox where you can examine them later, so as to avoid deleting a legitimate email. Switching to a different level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also pretty easy.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to use the mail service that comes with our semi-dedicated servers, you can keep all unwelcome email messages out of your mailbox by activating the five-level anti-spam protection that we offer with every semi-dedicated plan. This can be accomplished through the feature-stuffed Email Manager section of the Control Panel and we rely on the powerful SpamAssassin spam filter to make sure that we offer the best possible security for our clients.

Switching to a different protection level or deactivating the protection is also easy and requires a couple of clicks of the mouse.
