Most email messages sent around the world nowadays are spam, i.e. undesirable messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a risk to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may get ripped off. This is the reason why plenty of email providers rely on email filters, which are applications that keep track of all incoming email messages and filter the undesired ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email includes and how many times they are mentioned, what website a given link opens, what SMTP mail server the message comes from, and so on. Certain web hosting companies also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-date information about unasked-for email messages, to make sure that their clients will not get any email in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
The security of any mailbox that you set up under a shared hosting account with us is ensured by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we use. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it offers five protection levels based on the spam score it gives to every email in accordance with different criteria, such as the recurrence of specific words, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting spam messages, you can always raise the level or if you are afraid that you may skip a genuine email, you can combine the automated spam filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a particular sender to a different mailbox. If you decide that you no longer want anti-spam protection for a particular mailbox, you can disable it with only a few mouse clicks.
