An email filter is an application that impedes unwelcome messages from reaching a given mailbox. A huge percentage of the email traffic around the globe involves spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, fake banking notifications, etc. This is why, it is pretty important to activate email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being duped somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to provide better safety – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Hosting providers often use the services of third-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to make email filtering better and simpler without affecting genuine email messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting plan from us and if you take advantage of our mail services, you’ll be able to activate anti-spam protection for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just several mouse clicks, you can pick between five different levels of security. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest level and then slowly raise the level until you stop getting spam. We use one of the best and most famous filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header and the body of each email that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular email message or allows it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also permit you to set up custom spam filters and either get rid of unsolicited email messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can view them once again at a later time.
