Spam Filters
Get familiar with e-mail spam filters, what they do and how to activate them.
Most email messages sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unsolicited messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a risk to your own computer, not to mention that you may get ripped off. That is the reason why plenty of mail service providers use spam filters, which are applications that ‘scan’ all incoming emails and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words an email message contains and how often they’re cited, what web site a certain hyperlink redirects to, what mail server the email message comes from, etc. Certain web hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about unasked-for email messages, to make sure that their clients won’t receive any email message in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Linux shared web hosting, you’ll be able to activate spam filters for any mailbox that you create. With a couple of clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure 5 different safety levels. If you still get unsolicited bulk emails or the filters start preventing authentic email messages from entering your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our anti-spam service is ensured by one of the most popular filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk omitting an authentic message that may be considered as spam due to its content, you can also set up custom email filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the message and forward the emails to a different email account where you can examine them at a later time.
