Spam Filters
What is an e-mail spam filter? How does it work? How do you activate spam filtering?
Most emails sent around the globe these days are spam, in other words – unasked-for messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also present a threat to your PC, not to mention that you may be ripped off. That is why, lots of email providers resort to email filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all incoming emails and filter the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message includes and how often they are referred to, what web site a particular link opens, what server the email message comes from, and so on. Some web hosting companies also use the databases of spam-tracking organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about undesired email messages, to ensure that their clients will not receive any email in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.

In case you reach the decision to host your domain names with our company and you pick any of our
cloud hosting plans, you will be able to activate anti-spam protection for any mailbox that you create. With several clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 different safety levels. In case you continue to get spam email messages or the spam filters start preventing authentic messages from reaching your mailbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our anti-spam service is guaranteed by one of the most popular spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk skipping a legitimate email message that may be considered spam due to its content, you can also set up custom filters based on the body, the subject or the sender of the email message and re-send the emails to some other mailbox where you can check them at a later point in time.
