A spam filter is a software application that hinders undesirable email messages from entering a particular inbox. A considerable percentage of the email correspondence around the globe involves spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, false banking notifications, and so on. Because of this, it is rather important to use filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any chance of being scammed somehow. Filters detect different things, so as to ensure better protection – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s SMTP mail server. Web hosts often use the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases to make spam filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting legitimate emails, even if they include suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting

If you order a website hosting plan from our company and if you use our email services, you will be able to enable spam filtering 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 mouse clicks, you can select between five different levels of protection. If you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level till you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular email filters available called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header field and the body of each and every message that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a specific message or permits it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to set up custom filters and either get rid of unwanted email messages or forward them to a 3rd-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can double-check them afterwards.
