An email filter is a software application that’s installed on a POP3/IMAP server and ‘scans’ all inbound email messages in order to obstruct any unrequested ones from reaching a certain mailbox. Several instances of such emails would be: offers for pills or cash, fraudulent bank notifications or attachments that contain malicious software sent with the idea of infecting your PC. Email filters normally check the content of an email and in case they come across some keywords or other suspicious content, they either erase the message or redirect it to the Spam/Junk folder instead of the Inbox folder. Certain companies combine their own spam filters with up-to-the-minute databases from spam-tracing organizations, so as to ensure higher levels of safety for their clients. Such databases contain patterns, mail server IPs and other info about spam emails recently uncovered by these organizations.

With several mouse clicks in the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel, you can set up 5 different levels of security. If you continue to get spam messages or the spam filters start preventing legitimate email messages from entering your mailbox, you can switch to some other level just as easily. The efficiency of our spam filtering solution is ensured by one of the most famous spam filters – SpamAssassin. If you do not want to risk omitting an authentic message that may be blocked as spam due to its content, you can also create custom spam filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the email message and redirect the emails to a different email address where you can check them later.
