An email filter is a software app that’s installed on a mail server and monitors all inbound messages to impede any unwelcome ones from entering a certain inbox. Several instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking statements or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea to infect your PC. Spam filters normally examine the content of an email message and in case they come across given keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some hosting providers mix their own filters with up-to-date databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of security for their clients. Such databases include patterns, mail server IP addresses and other info about spam emails recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

If you get a shared web hosting plan from us and if you make use of our mail services, you will be able to enable spam filters for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just a few clicks, you can choose between five separate safety levels. In case you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest one and then slowly raise the level until you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the very best and most famous filters available called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header and the body of each and every email message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a certain email or allows it to reach your inbox. Hepsia will also permit you to configure custom spam filters and either delete undesirable emails or forward them to a 3rd-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can check them once again after that.
