A spam filter is a piece of software that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP server and monitors all incoming emails in order to hinder any unrequested ones from entering a given inbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, false bank notices or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea to damage your personal computer. Email filters usually ‘scan’ the content of an email and when they spot some keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email message or redirect it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain providers combine their own filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to guarantee better security for their clients. Such databases include patterns, email server IP addresses and other information about spam messages recently detected by these organizations.
Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting
If you get a cloud web hosting package from our company and if you use our email services, you’ll be able to enable spam filters for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only a few mouse clicks, you can select between 5 different protection levels. If you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then gradually boost the level till you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the very best and most popular email filters out there called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header field and the body of each and every message that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain message or permits it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to activate custom email filters and either eliminate undesirable email messages or re-send them to a third-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can examine them once again afterwards.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server packages deliver top-notch spam protection guaranteed by the famous SpamAssassin filter, which rates all incoming emails on the basis of a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the recurrence of certain keywords and phrases, the sender, the subject, and so on. When you enable the filter for any account via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can select between five different protection levels – from very high to very low. If you continue to receive spam email messages, you can raise the level, or if authentic emails are classified as spam, you can lower it. Activating or deactivating the spam protection requires as little as 2 mouse clicks and you can select if the filtered email messages should be erased instantaneously or if they should be redirected to a chosen email address where you can read them at a later point in time, so as to make certain that important email messages won’t disappear.
