Most emails sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unasked-for messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a risk to your personal computer, not to mention that you may be tricked. For this reason, a lot of email service providers resort to email filters, which are software apps that keep track of all incoming messages and filter the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message contains and how many times they’re mentioned, what website a particular link opens, what outbound email server the message is sent from, etc. Some web hosts also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date info about unwelcome emails, to ensure that their clients won’t receive any email message in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

If you order a shared web hosting package from our company and if you make use of our email services, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any of the email accounts that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just several mouse clicks, you can select between 5 different protection levels. In case you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then slowly raise the level till you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the best and most famous filters available called SpamAssassin. It checks the header field and the body of each email that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular email message or permits it to reach your inbox. Hepsia will also allow you to configure custom spam filters and either eliminate unasked-for emails or re-send them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can read them again at a later time.
