A spam filter is an application that stops unwelcome email messages from reaching a particular inbox. A huge percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, forged bank notifications, and so on. That’s why, it is quite important to use filters to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being scammed somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to provide higher levels of safety – specific words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s SMTP email server. Hosting providers often make use of the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases to make spam filtering simpler and more effective without affecting legitimate email messages, even if they contain suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

The protection of any email account that you create under a cloud website hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin filter that we use. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five levels of security based on the spam score it gives to each and every email in accordance with various criteria, such as the frequency of particular words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting junk emails, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may skip an authentic message, you can combine the automated spam filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a specific sender to a different email account. In case you decide that you no longer need anti-spam protection for a given email account, you can disable it with only a few clicks of the mouse.
