Most of the email messages sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unrequested messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get tricked. That’s the reason why many email service providers use email filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all incoming messages and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message consists of and how often they’re mentioned, what website a given link redirects to, what server the email comes from, etc. Some web hosting companies also rely on the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about unsolicited messages, to make sure that their clients won’t get any email in their inbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

If you get a shared web hosting plan from our company and if you make use of our email services, you’ll be able to activate spam filters for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With no more than several clicks, you can select between five separate protection levels. In case you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then slowly raise the level until you stop getting spam. We use one of the best and most famous email filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It examines the header section and the body of every email message that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a given email message or allows it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to create custom filters and either delete unwanted messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can examine them once more after that.
