Spam Filters
What precisely is an e-mail spam filter? How does one work? How do you enable spam filtering?
An email filter is an app that obstructs unsolicited messages from entering a given inbox. An enormous percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, sham bank notifications, and so on. Because of this, it’s rather important to set up email filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any possibility of being tricked somehow. Filters detect different things, so as to provide higher levels of protection – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s mail server. Web hosting companies often use the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that provide up-to-the-minute databases in order to make email filtering better and simpler without affecting genuine email messages, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting
If you get a
shared web hosting package from our company and if you use our mail services, you’ll be able to set up anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only several clicks, you can select between five different levels of safety. If you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest one and then gradually increase the level until you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the best and most popular filters out there called SpamAssassin. It examines the header and the body of every email that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular email or permits it to reach your inbox. Hepsia will also permit you to create custom filters and either get rid of unwanted messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can view them once again after that.
