An email filter is a piece of software that’s installed on a mail server and ‘scans’ all incoming email messages in order to hinder any unwelcome ones from reaching a particular inbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent bank statements or attachments that contain malicious code sent with the idea to infect your PC. Email filters usually ‘scan’ the content of an email message and if they detect particular keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the email or forward it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Some web hosting companies combine their own filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to guarantee higher levels of safety for their customers. Such databases include patterns, email server IP addresses and other info about spam email messages recently uncovered by these organizations.

Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting

The protection of any mailbox that you create under a cloud website hosting account with our company is ensured by the powerful SpamAssassin spam filter that we employ. You can activate it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers five safety levels based on the spam score it gives to each email message in accordance with different parameters, such as the recurrence of certain words, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always raise the level or if you’re scared that you may omit a legitimate email message, you can combine the automated filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a given sender to a different email account. In case you reach the decision that you no longer want a spam filter for a specific email account, you can deactivate it with only a couple of clicks.
