Spam Filters
Find out about spam filters - what they are, the way they work and ways to create one.
A spam filter is a software application that hinders unwanted emails from entering a particular mailbox. A considerable percentage of the email communication around the world is composed of spam email messages: offers for pills or money, sham bank notifications, etc. That’s why, it is rather important to set up email filters in order to avoid not only unsolicited bulk emails, but also any possibility of being duped somehow. Email filters detect various things, so as to provide higher levels of protection – certain words and phrases or the frequency with which they surface in the text, the sender’s email address, or the IP of the sender’s SMTP email server. Hosting companies frequently rely on the services of third-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-date databases in order to make email filtering easier and more effective without affecting legitimate emails, even if they contain suspicious words.

The quality of our anti-spam service is ensured by one of the most famous spam filters – SpamAssassin. In case you don’t want to risk omitting an authentic message that may be blocked as spam due to its content, you can also create custom email filters based on the sender, the subject or the body of the message and redirect the emails to another mailbox where you can read them at a later time.
