An email filter is a software application that’s installed on a mail server and ‘scans’ all incoming messages to impede any unwelcome ones from entering a particular mailbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking statements or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea to damage your PC. Spam filters normally examine the content of an email message and when they spot some keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the message or redirect it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some providers combine their own email filters with up-to-date databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to guarantee better protection for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, email server IP addresses and other information about spam email messages recently revealed by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you create in a shared web hosting account with us is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers five safety levels based on the spam score it gives to each and every email message depending on various criteria, such as the frequency of particular words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk messages, you can always raise the level or if you’re afraid that you may miss a legitimate message, you can combine the automatic email filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a specific sender to a separate email account. In case you reach the decision that you no longer require an email filter for a given email account, you can disable it with only a few clicks.
