Most email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – undesirable messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get conned. That is the reason why many email service providers use spam filters, which are applications that monitor all incoming emails and filter out the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email includes and how often they’re referred to, what web site a certain hyperlink points to, what SMTP server the email comes from, etc. Certain web hosting providers also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unsolicited email messages, to ensure that their clients will not get any message in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Hosting

If you order a hosting plan from our company and if you take advantage of our email services, you’ll be able to activate anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can choose between five different protection levels. If you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually boost the level till you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular spam filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It checks the header field and the body of each and every email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a certain message or allows it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to set up custom spam filters and either eliminate undesired messages or send them to a third-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can read them once again at a later time.
