Spam Filters
Read more about spam filters - what exactly they are, the way they work and the way to set up one.
An email filter is a software application that runs on a POP3/IMAP email server and monitors all inbound messages in order to block any undesirable ones from reaching a given inbox. Several instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent bank statements or attachments that contain malware sent with the intention to damage your PC. Spam filters normally examine the content of an email message and in case they come across given keywords or other dubious content, they either delete the email or redirect it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosting providers combine their own filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to ensure better protection for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, email server IP addresses and other information about spam messages recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our
semi-dedicated server plans come with second-to-none anti-spam protection ensured by the famous SpamAssassin filter, which classifies all incoming messages based on a spam score in accordance with patterns and parameters, such as the frequency of certain keywords and phrases, the subject, the sender, etc. When you activate the filter for any mailbox through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can choose between five different levels of protection – from very high to very low. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk email messages, you can raise the level, or if legitimate emails are classified as spam, you can decrease it. Enabling or disabling the spam protection takes as little as 2 clicks and you can select if the filtered emails should be erased instantly or if they should be delivered to a designated email account where you can review them at a later time, so as to ensure that the email messages that you need won’t disappear.
