Most of the emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, i.e. unrequested messages with various offers or with links to malicious software. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also present a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be ripped off. This is why, lots of email service providers use spam filters, which are apps that ‘scan’ all incoming messages and filter the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email contains and how many times they’re cited, what website a specific hyperlink points to, what outgoing mail server the email message comes from, etc. Certain hosting providers also make use of the databases of spam-monitoring organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about undesired email messages, to ensure that their clients won’t get any email message in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
The security of any email account that you create under a shared hosting account with our company is guaranteed by the powerful SpamAssassin filter that we use. You can enable it through the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers 5 levels of protection based on the spam score it gives to each and every email message in accordance with various criteria, such as the recurrence of given words and phrases, the sender, etc. If you keep receiving spam emails, you can always increase the level or if you are afraid that you may omit a legitimate message, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and redirect all emails from a specific sender to a different email address. If you decide that you no longer need a spam filter for a specific email account, you can deactivate it with only several clicks.
