An email filter is an application that hinders undesired messages from entering a given mailbox. A significant percentage of the email correspondence around the world is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or cash, sham bank notifications, and so on. This is why, it is very important to use email filters in order to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any possibility of being duped in some way. Spam filters detect different things, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety – specific words or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing SMTP server. Web hosting providers frequently make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases to make email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting authentic email messages, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you create in a shared hosting account with our company is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we use. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with five levels of protection based on the spam score it gives to every message depending on different parameters, such as the frequency of certain words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving junk emails, you can always raise the level or if you’re afraid that you may miss an authentic message, you can combine the automatic spam filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a particular sender to another email account. In case you decide that you no longer need an email filter for a given mailbox, you can disable it with only a few clicks.
