A spam filter is a software application that obstructs unsolicited email messages from reaching a particular inbox. A huge percentage of the email traffic around the world involves spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking notifications, and so on. That’s why, it is extremely important to activate email filters in order to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being duped somehow. Spam filters detect different things, so as to ensure higher levels of safety – certain words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound mail server. Web hosting providers often resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-monitoring organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to render spam filtering easier and more effective without affecting authentic email messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

The security of any email account that you create under a shared web hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with 5 levels of protection based on the spam score given to each email message in accordance with various parameters, such as the frequency of particular words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk messages, you can always raise the level or if you are scared that you may omit a legitimate email message, you can mix the automated filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a given sender to a different email address. If you reach the decision that you no longer want an email filter for a certain mailbox, you can disable it with just a few mouse clicks.
