An email filter is a piece of software that’s installed on a mail server and ‘scans’ all incoming emails so as to stop any unsolicited ones from entering a certain inbox. A few examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, false bank statements or email attachments that contain malicious code sent with the intention to infect your personal computer. Spam filters typically check the content of an email and in case they spot particular keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the email message or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain hosting providers combine their own filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracking organizations, so as to ensure better safety for their customers. Such databases contain patterns, email server IPs and other info about spam email messages recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you decide to host your domains with us and you choose any of our cloud website hosting, you’ll be able to enable spam filters for any email address that you set up. With a couple of mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five separate protection levels. In case you continue to receive spam messages or the filters start preventing genuine emails from entering your mailbox, you can change the level just as easily. The quality of our spam filtering solution is guaranteed by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. In case you do not want to risk missing a legitimate email that may be mistaken for spam owing to its content, you can also set up custom email filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and redirect the emails to some other email account where you can check them at a later point in time.
