An email filter is an app that blocks unasked-for emails from entering a particular inbox. An enormous percentage of the email correspondence around the world consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, forged bank notifications, and so on. That’s why, it’s really important to enable email filters in order to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being scammed somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to deliver higher levels of protection – particular words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing server. Hosting companies often rely on the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that provide up-to-date databases in order to make email filtering simpler and more effective without affecting genuine emails, even if they comprise suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you order a cloud hosting package from our company and if you make use of our mail services, you will be able to enable spam filtering 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 choose between 5 separate levels of protection. In case you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then gradually increase the level till you stop getting spam. We use one of the best and most popular filters out there called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header field and the body of each and every email message that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a particular message or permits it to reach your mailbox. Hepsia will also permit you to configure custom email filters and either delete unsolicited email messages or redirect them to a 3rd-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once more at a later time.
