Spam Filters
What's an e-mail spam filter? How does it work? How do you enable spam filtering?
Most email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unasked-for messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may get conned. This is why, numerous email providers make use of email filters, which are applications that keep track of all incoming messages and filter the undesired ones based on their content – what words an email message includes and how often they are mentioned, what web site a certain link leads to, what mail server the email message is sent from, etc. Some companies also make use of the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unasked-for email messages, to make sure that their clients won’t receive any email in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
If you decide to host your domain names with us and you select any of our
shared hosting, you will be able to activate anti-spam protection for any email address that you set up. With a couple of clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can set up 5 different security levels. If you continue to get junk emails or the filters start preventing authentic emails from entering your mailbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The quality of our spam filtering service is guaranteed by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk omitting a legitimate message that may be considered spam because of its content, you can also configure custom email filters based on the body, the sender or the subject of the message and redirect the emails to a different email account where you can view them at a later point in time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a
semi-dedicated server plan from our company and if you create one or more mailboxes with any of the domain names hosted under the account, you’ll be able to enable the powerful, 5-level SpamAssassin filter that we offer and keep all undesirable emails away from your mailbox. This functionality is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel’s Email Manager section and it can be activated or deactivated for any email account whenever you like. You can also adjust the safety level with a few clicks of the mouse in case junk messages continue to enter your inbox or the anti-spam filter starts erasing authentic email messages. As you can select if the spam should be deleted instantaneously or forwarded to a different email account, you can set up spam@domain.com, for instance, and view all filtered email messages there, so as to make certain that you will not miss an email message that you require. The emails that the filter permits to go through will still be delivered to your mailbox.
