Most emails sent around the world these days are spam, in other words – unwanted messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails irritating, but they also pose a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may be swindled. For this reason, plenty of email service providers make use of spam filters, which are applications that monitor all inbound email messages and filter out the undesired ones based on their content – what words an email contains and how often they are cited, what website a given hyperlink leads to, what SMTP mail server the email is sent from, and so on. Some web hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to the provision of the most up-to-date info about unwanted emails, to make sure that their customers will not get any message in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
If you order a shared hosting plan from us and if you take advantage of our mail services, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any of the email accounts that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With just a few mouse clicks, you can pick between 5 separate protection levels. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest level and then slowly increase the level till you stop receiving spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular filters available called SpamAssassin. It checks the header field and the body of every email that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either deletes a certain email message or allows it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also allow you to set up custom filters and either get rid of undesirable email messages or re-send them to a third-party email address like spam@domain.com where you can view them again at a later point in time.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers

This can be achieved through the feature-loaded Email Manager section of the hosting Control Panel and we rely on the powerful SpamAssassin filter to make certain that we offer the very best possible protection for our clients. You can have a different level of protection for each mailbox and you can select whether the filtered messages should be erased or re-sent to some other email account where you can read them at a later time to ensure that you won’t lose authentic messages. Switching to another level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also easy and takes several clicks.
