A spam filter is a software app that prevents unwanted emails from entering a given inbox. An immense percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam emails: offers for pills or cash, forged bank notifications, and so on. Because of this, it’s really important to set up filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any possibility of being tricked in some way. Spam filters detect different things, so as to deliver better protection – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s outgoing SMTP mail server. Web hosting companies frequently use the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-the-minute databases in order to render spam filtering better and easier without affecting legitimate email messages, even if they contain suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Hosting
If you order a hosting package from our company and if you use our mail services, you’ll be able to enable spam filters for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With just a couple of mouse clicks, you can choose between five separate protection levels. In case you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then slowly increase the level till you stop getting spam. We use one of the best and most famous filters out there called SpamAssassin. It examines the header and the body of each and every message that you get and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a specific message or permits it to enter your mailbox. Hepsia will also permit you to set up custom filters and either erase undesired email messages or re-send them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can double-check them at a later point in time.
