An email filter is a piece of software that is installed on a mail server and monitors all incoming messages to hinder any unsolicited ones from reaching a specific mailbox. Several examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, fake banking notices or email attachments that contain malware sent with the idea to infect your computer. Spam filters usually check the content of an email and when they come across certain keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the email or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain companies combine their own email filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to ensure better protection for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IP addresses and other info about spam email messages recently revealed by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

In case you reach the decision to host your domains with our company and you pick any of our cloud hosting plans, you’ll be able to enable spam filtering for any mailbox that you set up. With several mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can set up 5 different security levels. If you continue to receive spam email messages or the spam filters start preventing genuine emails from reaching your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam filtering service is ensured by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk missing a legitimate message that may be blocked as spam due to its content, you can also configure custom filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and forward the emails to a different mailbox where you can view them later.
