Spam Filters
Get familiar with e-mail spam filters, what they do and how you can activate them.
An email filter is an app that stops undesirable messages from reaching a particular inbox. A substantial percentage of the email traffic around the globe involves spam messages: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent banking notifications, etc. That is why, it’s quite important to enable filters to avoid not only spam emails, but also any possibility of being scammed somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to deliver higher levels of protection – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing mail server. Web hosts often resort to the services of third-party spam-detecting organizations that offer up-to-date databases to make email filtering easier and more efficient without affecting genuine messages, even if they comprise suspicious words.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting
The protection of any email account that you set up in a
web hosting account with us is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin spam filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers five safety levels based on the spam score it gives to each and every message in accordance with various parameters, such as the frequency of particular words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep getting spam messages, you can always raise the level or if you’re scared that you may omit a genuine email, you can mix the automated filter with a custom one and redirect all email messages from a given sender to a separate mailbox. If you decide that you no longer need a spam filter for a given email account, you can deactivate it with only several clicks.
