An email filter is a software application that is installed on a mail server and ‘scans’ all inbound emails so as to obstruct any unsolicited ones from reaching a specific inbox. A few examples of such emails would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent banking notices or attachments that contain malware sent with the intention of infecting your computer. Email filters normally ‘scan’ the content of an email message and in case they spot specific keywords or other suspicious content, they either delete the email message or deliver it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some companies combine their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-detecting organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety for their clients. Such databases include patterns, email server IP addresses and other information about spam email messages recently revealed by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

The safety of any mailbox that you set up in a cloud website hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five levels of security based on the spam score it gives to every email in accordance with various parameters, such as the recurrence of certain words, the sender, and so on. If you keep receiving unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always raise the level or if you’re afraid that you may miss a genuine email message, you can combine the automatic spam filter with a custom one and forward all email messages from a particular sender to another email address. In case you reach the decision that you no longer want a spam filter for a specific mailbox, you can disable it with just several clicks.
