Most of the email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unwelcome messages with different offers or with links to malware. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also present a risk to your own computer, not to mention that you may be conned. For this reason, many email providers make use of email filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all inbound messages and filter out the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email includes and how many times they are cited, what website a given link redirects to, what outgoing SMTP server the email message comes from, etc. Some web hosting companies also rely on the databases of spam-detecting organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unasked-for emails, to make certain that their clients won’t get any message in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting servers employ one of the best anti-spam filters available on the market. It’s called SpamAssassin and is included with each package, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can select one of the 5 safety levels that the filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can do this with just 2 mouse clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that’s used to manage all shared hosting accounts. SpamAssassin ‘scans’ the header field and the body of each email, calculates a spam score and then continues according to the level that you’ve selected. Each email account can have a different setting and you can choose whether the messages that the anti-spam filter reports as spam should be deleted or redirected to a separate mailbox where you can check them at a later point in time, so as to avoid deleting a genuine email. Switching to some other level or disabling the protection is also pretty easy.
