Spam Filters
What precisely is an e-mail spam filter? How does it work? How do you activate spam filtering?
Most email messages sent around the world these days are spam, in other words – unrequested messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a risk to your personal computer, not to mention that you may get duped. That is why, numerous email providers rely on email filters, which are apps that ‘scan’ all incoming email messages and filter out the undesired ones on the basis of their content – what words or phrases an email consists of and how often they’re referred to, what web site a certain link points to, what SMTP mail server the message is sent from, etc. Some companies also use the databases of spam-detecting organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date information about undesirable emails, to make certain that their customers will not get any message in their mailbox that’s not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Cloud Hosting
If you get a cloud hosting plan from us and if you use our email services, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any of the mailboxes that you set up from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With only a couple of mouse clicks, you can select between 5 separate levels of protection. In case you start receiving spam, you can begin with the lowest level and then slowly boost the level till you stop getting spam. We rely on one of the best and most popular spam filters available on the market called SpamAssassin. It examines the header and the body of each message that you receive and calculates a spam score, based on which it either deletes a particular email message or permits it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel will also permit you to create custom spam filters and either delete unwelcome emails or send them to a 3rd-party address like spam@domain.com where you can examine them once more at a later time.
