A spam filter is a software application that hinders undesired email messages from entering a particular mailbox. A considerable percentage of the email traffic around the globe consists of spam emails: offers for pills or cash, fake bank notifications, etc. For this reason, it’s rather important to enable filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any possibility of being duped in some way. 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 outgoing mail server. Web hosts frequently make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to render spam filtering easier and more efficient without affecting legitimate emails, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

The safety of any mailbox that you set up in a cloud website hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five levels of protection based on the spam score it gives to each and every email message in accordance with various parameters, such as the frequency of specific words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam messages, you can always raise the level or if you are scared that you may miss a legitimate email message, you can mix the automatic spam filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a specific sender to a separate email account. If you decide that you no longer want an email filter for a specific mailbox, you can deactivate it with no more than several clicks of the mouse.
