A spam filter is a software application that prevents unsolicited emails from entering a given mailbox. A substantial percentage of the email communication around the globe is composed of spam emails: offers for pills or cash, false banking notifications, etc. That’s why, it’s extremely important to set up email filters to avoid not only unsolicited bulk email messages, but also any chance of being duped in some way. Spam filters detect different things, so as to provide higher levels of protection – certain words or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s SMTP mail server. Web hosting providers often make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make email filtering better and easier without affecting authentic emails, even if they include suspicious words.
Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting
In case you reach the decision to host your domains with us and you pick any of our Linux shared web hosting packages, you’ll be able to activate spam filters for any email account that you set up. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five different levels of protection. If you still get junk emails or the spam filters start preventing legitimate emails from entering your inbox, you can switch to another level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam filtering service is ensured by one of the most popular email filters – SpamAssassin. If 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 message and re-send the emails to some other email account where you can check them later.
