A spam filter is a software app that is installed on a POP3/IMAP server and ‘scans’ all inbound email messages so as to stop any undesirable ones from entering a given mailbox. A few instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, fake banking statements or attachments that contain malware sent with the idea of infecting your PC. Spam filters typically check the content of an email message and if they spot particular keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email message or deliver it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain web hosting companies mix their own email filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to guarantee better protection for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, email server IP addresses and other info about spam email messages recently detected by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

If you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you select any of our cloud hosting, you will be able to enable spam filtering for any email account that you create. With a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can configure five different protection levels. In case you continue to receive junk emails or the email filters start preventing authentic email messages from entering your mailbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our anti-spam solution is guaranteed by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk missing a genuine email that may be flagged as spam due to its content, you can also create custom spam filters based on the body, the sender or the subject of the message and redirect the emails to a different mailbox where you can check them at a later time.
