Most of the email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. unwelcome messages with different offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may be duped. Because of this, numerous email service providers rely on email filters, which are applications that monitor all inbound emails and filter out the undesirable ones based on their content – what words an email message contains and how often they’re cited, what site a particular link points to, what outgoing server the email message comes from, etc. Some providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute info about unsolicited email messages, to make certain that their customers won’t receive any email in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting servers use one of the very best anti-spam filters out there. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with each shared hosting plan, so in case you host your domains with us, you can opt for one of the five levels of protection that the spam filter offers for any email account that you’ve got here. You can accomplish this with only two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the body of each email, gives it a spam score and then proceeds on the basis of the level that you’ve picked. Every mailbox can have a different setting and you can choose if the email messages that the filter reports as spam should be deleted or redirected to some other email address where you can view them at a later point in time, so as to prevent erasing an authentic email message. Switching to some other level or deactivating the spam protection is also quite easy.
