Spam Filters
Find out about spam filters - what exactly they are, how they work and the ways to create one.
An email filter is an app that impedes unsolicited emails from entering a given inbox. A substantial percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, sham bank notifications, and so on. That is why, it’s quite important to activate filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any possibility of being ripped off somehow. Email filters detect different things, so as to ensure higher levels of security – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound mail server. Web hosts often use the services of third-party spam-monitoring organizations that offer up-to-date databases to render spam filtering simpler and more effective without affecting genuine email messages, even if they contain suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting
The safety of any email account that you set up under a cloud web hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers 5 security levels based on the spam score given to every message depending on various parameters, such as the recurrence of given words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always raise the level or if you’re scared that you may skip a legitimate email message, you can mix the automatic filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a given sender to a separate email address. In case you reach the decision that you no longer want a spam filter for a certain email account, you can disable it with only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
