Most emails sent around the globe nowadays are spam, in other words – undesired messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages irritating, but they also present a threat to your personal computer, not to mention that you may be duped. That’s why, numerous email providers use spam filters, which are software applications that keep track of all inbound email messages and filter the undesirable ones on the basis of their content – what words an email includes and how often they are mentioned, what web site a specific hyperlink opens, what SMTP email server the email is sent from, etc. Some web hosts also make use of the databases of spam-tracking organizations dedicated to providing the most up-to-date info about unsolicited messages, to make certain that their customers will not receive any email message in their mailbox that is not supposed to be there.
Spam Filters in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting servers rely on one of the best anti-spam filters available. It’s called SpamAssassin and is available with each and every cloud web hosting package, so in case you host your domains with our company, you can pick one of the 5 levels of security that the spam filter offers for any email account that you have here. You can accomplish this with just two clicks from the Email Manager section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is used to manage all shared web hosting accounts. SpamAssassin examines the header section and the body of each email, gives it a spam score and then continues in accordance with the level that you’ve chosen. Each email account can have a different level and you can choose if the email messages that the anti-spam filter classifies as spam should be erased or re-sent to another email account where you can read them later, so as to avoid deleting an authentic email. Switching to some other level or disabling the anti-spam protection is also amazingly easy.
