A spam filter is an app that impedes unsolicited email messages from reaching a particular inbox. An immense percentage of the email correspondence around the globe is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or money, false banking notifications, and so on. Because of this, it’s extremely important to activate filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any possibility of being ripped off somehow. Filters detect different things, so as to deliver higher levels of protection – particular words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outbound SMTP mail server. Web hosting providers frequently resort to the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases in order to render email filtering easier and more efficient without affecting authentic emails, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you set up in a cloud website hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin filter that we employ. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with 5 protection levels based on the spam score it gives to each email depending on various criteria, such as the frequency of given words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving junk email messages, you can always raise the level or if you are scared that you may skip an authentic email, you can combine the automatic spam filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a particular sender to a separate email address. In case you decide that you no longer require an email filter for a certain mailbox, you can disable it with just a couple of mouse clicks.
