A spam filter is an application that hinders unwelcome emails from entering a given mailbox. A considerable percentage of the email traffic around the world consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, sham banking notifications, etc. That’s why, it is extremely important to use email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any chance of being swindled somehow. Spam filters detect various things, so as to deliver higher levels of safety – specific words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Hosting companies often resort to the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to make email filtering easier and more efficient without affecting genuine emails, even if they contain suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Shared Website Hosting
The safety of any email account that you set up in a shared website hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we use. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five security levels based on the spam score given to every email message depending on different criteria, such as the recurrence of particular words, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam messages, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may omit a legitimate message, you can combine the automated email filter with a custom one and redirect all messages from a particular sender to a separate email account. If you reach the decision that you no longer require an email filter for a certain email account, you can deactivate it with no more than several mouse clicks.
