Most email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unwelcome messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also pose a threat to your own computer, not to mention that you may be scammed. Because of this, many mail service providers use email filters, which are apps that keep track of all incoming email messages and filter out the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email consists of and how often they are referred to, what website a certain link redirects to, what SMTP server the email message comes from, etc. Certain hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unwelcome emails, to ensure that their customers will not get any email message in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Website Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domain names with our company and you choose any of our Linux website hosting packages, you will be able to set up spam filtering for any email address that you create. With a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure 5 separate levels of protection. In case you still get junk messages or the filters start preventing genuine email messages from entering your mailbox, you can switch to a different level just as easily. The quality of our spam protection solution is ensured by one of the most famous filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk omitting a legitimate email message that may be considered as spam owing to its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the email message and forward the emails to a separate mailbox where you can check them at a later time.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you use one of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages, you will not have to worry about junk messages stuffing your mailboxes every now and then, as you can take advantage of the famous SpamAssassin spam filter that we provide with each and every semi-dedicated account. Our in-house created Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to activate the filter for any mailbox with a couple of clicks of the mouse and you can choose any of the five protection levels – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any moment if, for example, legitimate emails get filtered, or if unsolicited bulk emails go through and reach your Inbox folder. To take no chances, you can choose all filtered email messages to be re-sent to a special email account such as spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. In this way, you can go through them every now and then to make sure that you haven’t omitted an authentic email.
