Most emails sent around the world nowadays are spam, in other words – unwelcome messages with various offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also pose a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get conned. That’s why, a lot of mail service providers use spam filters, which are applications that keep track of all incoming email messages and filter the undesirable ones based on their content – what words an email consists of and how many times they are mentioned, what web site a certain hyperlink points to, what outgoing SMTP email server the email message is sent from, etc. Certain web hosting providers also use the databases of spam-tracing organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about unasked-for messages, to make certain that their clients will not receive any email in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting servers use one of the very best anti-spam filters out there. It is called SpamAssassin and is available with each and every shared hosting package, so if you host your domains with us, you can pick one of the five protection levels that the filter offers for any mailbox that you have here. You can do this with only two mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header field and the body of each email message, gives it a spam score and then continues on the basis of the level that you have selected. Each email account can have a different setting and you can choose if the messages that the spam filter labels as spam should be deleted or redirected to a different email account where you can review them at a later point in time, so as to avoid erasing a legitimate message. Changing the level or deactivating the protection is also remarkably easy.
