Spam Filters
Get familiar with e-mail spam filters, how they work and how you can activate them.
Most email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – unrequested messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such emails aggravating, but they also present a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may be ripped off. For this reason, numerous mail service providers use email filters, which are software apps that keep track of all incoming email messages and filter out the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message includes and how often they’re cited, what web site a specific link leads to, what server the message comes from, and so on. Some web hosting providers also rely on the databases of spam-tracing organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date information about unrequested messages, to ensure that their customers will not get any message in their inbox that is not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our
semi-dedicated server accounts provide top-class anti-spam protection ensured by the popular SpamAssassin spam filter, which classifies all incoming messages on the basis of a spam score in accordance with parameters and patterns, such as the frequency of specific keywords, the sender, the subject, etc. When you activate the filter for any mailbox via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can select between five different safety levels – from very low to very high.
