Most email messages sent around the globe these days are spam, i.e. unrequested messages with different offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages aggravating, but they also present a threat to your own PC, not to mention that you may be ripped off. This is why, a lot of mail service providers resort to spam filters, which are software apps that ‘scan’ all inbound email messages and filter the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words an email includes and how often they are referred to, what website a certain hyperlink redirects to, what outbound SMTP email server the email is sent from, etc. Certain providers also make use of the databases of spam-tracing organizations devoted to the provision of the most up-to-the-minute info about unrequested emails, to make certain that their clients won’t get any message in their inbox that should not be there.

If you order a website hosting package from our company and if you make use of our mail services, you will be able to activate spam filtering for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With no more than a couple of mouse clicks, you can pick between five separate levels of security. If you start getting spam, you can begin with the lowest one and then gradually boost the level till you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the best and most popular email filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It analyzes the header and the body of each and every message that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain message or permits it to reach your inbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also permit you to create custom filters and either get rid of undesired messages or forward them to a third-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can examine them once again at a later time.
