Spam Filters
Get familiar with e-mail spam filters, the things they do and how to enable them.
Most of the emails sent around the world these days are spam, in other words – unwelcome messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also pose a threat to your personal computer, not to mention that you may be scammed. This is why, a lot of email service providers use email filters, which are software apps that monitor all inbound emails and filter the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message consists of and how often they’re referred to, what web site a particular link points to, what outgoing mail server the email comes from, and so on. Certain hosting providers also make use of the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute information about undesired email messages, to make certain that their clients won’t get any message in their mailbox that should not be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting
The security of any email account that you set up under a
shared web hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it comes with 5 levels of safety based on the spam score given to each email message depending on different criteria, such as the frequency of certain words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving spam email messages, you can always increase the level or if you’re scared that you may skip a legitimate email, you can combine the automated spam filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a particular sender to some other mailbox. If you reach the decision that you no longer want a spam filter for a specific email account, you can disable it with only a few clicks of the mouse.
