Spam Filters
Read more about spam filters - what they are, how they work and the way to create one.
A spam filter is a software application that stops unsolicited emails from entering a particular inbox. A large percentage of the email traffic around the globe is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, fake banking notifications, and so on. This is why, it is rather important to set up filters in order to avoid not only spam messages, but also any chance of being swindled somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to guarantee better security – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Web hosts often make use of the services of third-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering easier and more effective without affecting genuine email messages, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
Our
cloud hosting servers rely on one of the very best spam filters out there. It is called SpamAssassin and is available with each shared hosting package, so in case you host your domain names with our company, you can choose one of the 5 levels of safety that the spam filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can do this with just two clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin checks the header field and the content of each and every email message, gives it a spam score and then continues based on the level that you’ve picked. Each mailbox can have a different setting and you can choose if the email messages that the filter marks as spam should be erased or redirected to some other mailbox where you can check them at a later time, so as to prevent erasing an authentic email. Switching to a different level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also truly easy.
