Spam Filters
What's an e-mail spam filter? How does it work? How can you enable spam filtering?
Most of the email messages sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. undesired messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malicious software. Not only are such emails annoying, but they also pose a risk to your own PC, not to mention that you may be swindled. For this reason, lots of mail service providers rely on email filters, which are software applications that ‘scan’ all incoming email messages and filter out the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email message contains and how often they’re cited, what site a specific hyperlink points to, what server the email is sent from, and so on. Certain providers also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about unsolicited messages, to make sure that their clients will not receive any email in their mailbox that shouldn’t be there.
Spam Filters in Cloud Web Hosting
The protection of any email account that you create in a cloud web hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin spam filter that we employ. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and it comes with five levels of safety based on the spam score it gives to each message depending on different criteria, such as the frequency of certain words and phrases, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always raise the level or if you are scared that you may miss a legitimate email, you can combine the automated email filter with a custom one and forward all emails from a particular sender to a different email account. If you decide that you no longer want an email filter for a given mailbox, you can deactivate it with only several clicks of the mouse.
