An email filter is a software app that impedes unasked-for email messages from reaching a given inbox. A large percentage of the email traffic around the globe consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, false banking notifications, etc. That’s why, it is really important to enable email filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any chance of being swindled in some way. Email filters detect different things, so as to guarantee better security – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing server. Web hosts frequently resort to the services of third-party spam-monitoring organizations that provide up-to-date databases in order to make email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting genuine messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

With a few clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure five separate safety levels. If you continue to get spam or the filters start preventing genuine messages from reaching your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The efficiency of our anti-spam service is guaranteed by one of the most widely used spam filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk missing an authentic email that may be considered spam owing to its content, you can also configure custom filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the message and forward the emails to a separate mailbox where you can examine them later.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you use one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages, you will not have to worry about spam emails filling up your mailboxes every now and then, as you can make use of the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we offer with each semi-dedicated server account. Our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with several mouse clicks and you can choose any of the five security levels – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for instance, genuine messages get blocked, or if unsolicited bulk messages go through and appear in your Inbox folder. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered emails to be delivered to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can examine them every now and then to ensure that you have not omitted a genuine email.
