A spam filter is an application that hinders unwanted email messages from reaching a given mailbox. An immense percentage of the email traffic around the globe consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, false bank notifications, etc. Because of this, it’s really important to enable filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk messages, but also any chance of being duped somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to provide higher levels of security – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s SMTP email server. Web hosting providers frequently use the services of 3rd-party spam-tracing organizations that provide up-to-date databases to render email filtering simpler and more efficient without affecting legitimate emails, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.
Spam Filters in Website Hosting
Our website hosting servers use one of the best anti-spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is offered with each and every plan, so in case you host your domain names with us, you can select one of the 5 levels of protection that the anti-spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with only 2 clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all hosting accounts. SpamAssassin checks the header and the content of each and every message, gives it a spam score and then proceeds in accordance with the level that you’ve selected. Every email account can have a different setting and you can choose if the emails that the filter reports as spam should be deleted or forwarded to a separate email account where you can view them later, so as to avoid deleting a genuine email message. Switching to a different level or deactivating the protection is also quite easy.
