Most emails sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unwelcome messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be tricked. This is why, a lot of email service providers resort to spam filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all incoming email messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how often they’re mentioned, what web site a particular link opens, what server the email is sent from, etc. Certain companies also make use of the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unsolicited email messages, to ensure that their customers will not get any email message in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.
Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting servers rely on one of the very best spam filters available on the market. It is called SpamAssassin and is offered with every cloud hosting plan, so in case you host your domains with us, you can opt for one of the five protection levels that the filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can do this with only 2 clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all cloud web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin analyzes the header field and the body of every email message, gives it a spam score and then continues in accordance with the level that you’ve chosen. Every mailbox can have a different setting and you can select if the email messages that the filter labels as spam should be erased or redirected to a separate mailbox where you can check them at a later time, so as to avoid erasing an authentic email message. Switching to a different level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also remarkably easy.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with second-to-none spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin spam filter, which classifies all incoming email messages based on a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of specific keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, etc. When you enable the filter for any account via the Hepsia Control Panel’s Email Manager section, you can pick between 5 separate levels – from very high to very low. If you still get unsolicited bulk emails, you can raise the level, or if legitimate messages are classified as spam, you can decrease it. Activating or deactivating the anti-spam protection requires as little as two mouse clicks and you can choose if the filtered emails should be deleted momentarily or if they should be forwarded to a chosen mailbox where you can review them at a later point in time, so as to ensure that the emails that you need will not disappear.
