Most of the email messages sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unasked-for messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a risk to your computer, not to mention that you may get tricked. That is the reason why many email service providers make use of email filters, which are applications that keep track of all incoming messages and filter out the unwanted ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email message contains and how often they’re cited, what site a specific hyperlink opens, what outbound SMTP mail server the email comes from, and so on. Some web hosting companies also rely on the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-date information about unsolicited emails, to make sure that their customers will not receive any message in their inbox that’s not supposed to be there.

Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting servers rely on one of the best anti-spam filters available on the market. It is called SpamAssassin and is available with every shared hosting package, so in case you host your domains with us, you can choose one of the 5 levels of safety that the filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can do this with just 2 clicks of the mouse from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage all cloud web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the content of each and every message, gives it a spam score and then continues in accordance with the level that you’ve picked. Each email account can have a different setting and you can select if the email messages that the anti-spam filter considers as spam should be erased or forwarded to a separate mailbox where you can view them at a later time, so as to prevent erasing a genuine message. Switching to some other level or deactivating the spam protection is also amazingly easy.
