Most emails sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. unwelcome messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may be ripped off. This is why, plenty of mail service providers make use of spam filters, which are apps that keep track of all inbound messages and filter out the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message contains and how many times they’re cited, what website a certain hyperlink redirects to, what SMTP email server the email is sent from, and so on. Some hosting companies also rely on the databases of spam-tracking organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about unrequested email messages, to ensure that their customers won’t receive any email in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting

Our shared website hosting servers rely on one of the best anti-spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with each plan, so if you host your domain names with us, you can select one of the 5 levels of security that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with only two clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all hosting accounts. SpamAssassin checks the header field and the body of each message, gives it a spam score and then proceeds based on the level that you have opted for. Every email account can have a different setting and you can select if the emails that the filter reports as spam should be erased or redirected to some other email address where you can view them at a later time, so as to prevent deleting a legitimate email message. Switching to another level or deactivating the anti-spam protection is also truly easy.
