A spam filter is a software app that’s installed on a mail server and ‘scans’ all incoming messages in order to block any undesired ones from entering a certain mailbox. Several instances of such email messages would be: offers for pills or cash, fake bank notifications or email attachments that contain malicious software sent with the intention of infecting your PC. Spam filters usually check the content of an email and if they come across particular keywords or other dubious content, they either erase the message or forward it to the Junk/Spam folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain providers combine their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to guarantee better protection for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, email server IPs and other information about spam emails recently uncovered by these organizations.
Spam Filters in Shared Hosting
The security of any email account that you set up in a shared hosting account with us is guaranteed by the advanced SpamAssassin email filter that we employ. You can enable it via the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel and it offers 5 safety levels based on the spam score given to each email in accordance with different criteria, such as the recurrence of certain words, the sender, and so on. If you keep getting unsolicited bulk email messages, you can always increase the level or if you are scared that you may omit an authentic email message, you can combine the automatic filter with a custom one and forward all messages from a certain sender to a different email address. If you reach the decision that you no longer want anti-spam protection for a given mailbox, you can disable it with only a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you decide to make use of the email service that comes with our semi-dedicated plans, you can keep all unsolicited email messages out of your mailbox by activating the five-level spam protection service that we provide with every semi-dedicated plan.

Changing the level or disabling the spam protection is also easy and requires a few clicks of the mouse.
