An email filter is an app that obstructs unwanted email messages from reaching a given inbox. A significant percentage of the email correspondence around the globe involves spam emails: offers for pills or money, forged bank notifications, etc. This is why, it is rather important to set up email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any chance of being ripped off somehow. Filters detect various things, so as to guarantee higher levels of protection – particular words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP address of the sender’s outgoing SMTP email server. Hosting companies often make use of the services of third-party spam-tracing organizations that offer up-to-date databases to make email filtering better and easier without affecting authentic emails, even if they include suspicious words or phrases.

Spam Filters in Web Hosting

The security of any email account that you set up in a web hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we use. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with five protection levels based on the spam score it gives to each message depending on various parameters, such as the frequency of given words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk messages, you can always increase the level or if you’re scared that you may miss a genuine email, you can combine the automated spam filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a certain sender to another mailbox. In case you decide that you no longer want an email filter for a specific email account, you can disable it with just a few clicks.
