A spam filter is a software app that is installed on an email server and monitors all incoming emails to stop any unsolicited ones from reaching a certain inbox. A few examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking notices or attachments that contain malicious code sent with the intention of infecting your personal computer. Spam filters normally examine the content of an email message and in case they spot given keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the message or re-send it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some providers combine their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to ensure higher levels of safety for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IP addresses and other information about spam emails recently reported by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Hosting

If you get a hosting package from us and if you use our mail services, you’ll be able to set up spam filters for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can pick between 5 different levels of security. In case you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then gradually boost the level till you stop receiving spam. We make use of one of the best and most popular spam filters out there called SpamAssassin. It examines the header section and the body of each email message that you get and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a given email or permits it to reach your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to activate custom spam filters and either erase unasked-for emails or redirect them to a third-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can examine them once more at a later time.
