A spam filter is a software application that stops undesired email messages from reaching a given mailbox. An enormous percentage of the email traffic around the world involves spam emails: offers for pills or money, sham banking notifications, etc. That is why, it is really important to set up filters to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any chance of being swindled somehow. Email filters detect various things, so as to deliver higher levels of protection – specific words or the frequency with which they appear in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP of the sender’s email server. Web hosts frequently resort to the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make spam filtering better and easier without affecting authentic emails, even if they contain suspicious words or phrases.

With a couple of clicks of the mouse in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can switch between five separate levels of protection. If you continue to get spam emails or the filters start preventing genuine emails from entering your inbox, you can change the level just as easily. The quality of our spam filtering solution is guaranteed by one of the most widely used email filters – SpamAssassin. If you don’t want to risk missing a legitimate message that may be classified as spam due to its content, you can also configure custom filters based on the sender, the body or the subject of the message and forward the emails to some other email account where you can view them later.
