An email filter is an application that stops unwelcome email messages from entering a particular mailbox. A large percentage of the email correspondence around the globe is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking notifications, and so on. For this reason, it’s pretty important to enable filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being tricked somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to ensure higher levels of safety – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing email server. Web hosting companies often make use of the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make email filtering easier and more efficient without affecting authentic email messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

The security of any email account that you set up under a shared hosting account with us is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can activate it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers 5 safety levels based on the spam score given to each email in accordance with different criteria, such as the recurrence of particular words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving spam emails, you can always increase the level or if you are scared that you may omit an authentic email, you can mix the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a particular sender to a different email account. In case you reach the decision that you no longer want a spam filter for a particular email account, you can deactivate it with just a few clicks of the mouse.
