Most email messages sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unsolicited messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may get ripped off. This is why, numerous mail service providers resort to spam filters, which are applications that monitor all incoming emails and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message contains and how often they’re mentioned, what website a given link points to, what outgoing SMTP server the email is sent from, and so on. Certain companies also rely on the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about undesired email messages, to make sure that their customers will not get any email in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting plan from us and if you use our email services, you will be able to set up anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just a few clicks, you can pick between 5 different safety levels. If you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level until you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the best and most famous email filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header and the body of every email that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a certain email message or permits it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also permit you to create custom spam filters and either get rid of unwelcome email messages or forward them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once again after that.
