An email filter is a software app that stops unwelcome emails from entering a particular mailbox. An enormous percentage of the email correspondence around the globe consists of spam messages: offers for pills or cash, sham bank notifications, etc. Because of this, it’s extremely important to activate email filters in order to avoid not only spam email messages, but also any possibility of being scammed in some way. Spam filters detect different things, so as to deliver higher levels of safety – particular words and phrases or the frequency with which they occur in the text, the sender’s address, or the IP address of the sender’s outbound SMTP mail server. Hosting providers frequently make use of the services of 3rd-party spam-tracking organizations that offer up-to-date databases to make email filtering easier and more effective without affecting authentic emails, even if they include suspicious words.

With only a couple of clicks, you can select between five different levels of protection. If you start receiving spam, you can start with the lowest level and then gradually increase the level till you stop receiving spam.

It checks the header section and the body of each message that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a specific message or allows it to reach your mailbox. Hepsia will also permit you to configure custom email filters and either get rid of unwelcome email messages or redirect them to a 3rd-party address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once again after that.
