A spam filter is a software application that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP email server and ‘scans’ all incoming emails in order to hinder any unasked-for ones from reaching a particular inbox. A few instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or money, fraudulent bank statements or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea to infect your personal computer. Spam filters typically examine the content of an email message and if they come across given keywords or other suspicious content, they either erase the email message or redirect it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain providers combine their own filters with up-to-date databases from spam-monitoring organizations, so as to guarantee better safety for their customers. Such databases include patterns, mail server IP addresses and other info about spam emails recently reported by these organizations.
Spam Filters in Shared Web Hosting
If you reach the decision to host your domains with our company and you pick any of our Linux shared web hosting packages, you’ll be able to set up spam filtering for any email account that you create. With several clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can configure 5 separate levels of security. If you continue to receive spam email messages or the email filters start preventing legitimate email messages from reaching your inbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The quality of our spam detection solution is ensured by one of the most popular email filters – SpamAssassin. If you do not want to risk missing an authentic email message that may be considered as spam because of its content, you can also create custom spam filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and redirect the emails to some other email account where you can check them at a later time.
