Most email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – undesired messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a risk to your personal computer, not to mention that you may get duped. This is why, numerous mail service providers make use of spam filters, which are software apps that monitor all inbound messages and filter the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email message consists of and how often they are mentioned, what website a certain hyperlink opens, what email server the message is sent from, etc. Some web hosting providers also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date information about undesired messages, to make certain that their customers will not get any email in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

Our web hosting servers rely on one of the best anti-spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with each and every cloud web hosting plan, so if you host your domain names with us, you can choose one of the 5 safety levels that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can do this with only two clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all shared accounts. SpamAssassin analyzes the header and the body of every message, calculates a spam score and then continues on the basis of the level that you have selected. Each mailbox can have a different setting and you can choose if the messages that the anti-spam filter marks as spam should be deleted or redirected to some other email account where you can examine them later, so as to prevent erasing a legitimate email. Switching to some other level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also incredibly easy.
