Website Hosting: Spam Assasin

Spam & Virus Protection included with every Hosting plan.

Spam Assassin – Absolutely Free

Plain and simple, Spam Assassin is a time saver, and it’s much more cost effective than hiring a virtual assistant to sort through your business inbox. This email manager gives you complete control over what passes through your email gateway and what gets blocked as useless, annoying, time-consuming spam.

This invaluable tool allows you to establish “rules” regarding email. Using a variety of filters to analyze incoming mail, Spam Assassin prevents this digital debris from ever reaching you.

This chart lists the spam solutions we offer with each hosting account. 

How to Get Started with Spam Assasin Shared Web Hosting Customers: Access your hosting account's control panel and click the "Mail Info" icon to enable antispam. From there, you can configure for a mail domain or configure it individually for a specific mailbox. Virtual Private Server (VPS Hosting) Customers: Login to your Private Server control panel and select the "System" tab. Then, click the "Spam Assassin" link.

Header Analysis

Spammers use lots of tricks to fool email managers and human eyeballs. You’ve seen the personalized headers, the references to “Item 12345” or “Customer Complaint” on email subject lines and, naturally, you open what appears to be legitimate correspondence. Through header analysis, Spam Assassin stops this junk at the door.

Text Analysis

Spam is usually written using certain stylistic conventions and broadcast protocols buried within the message text. Spam Assassin scans each incoming email for indications that it’s junk. Each email is machine read top to bottom before it ever gets to you.

Blacklist Support

You aren’t the only one who hates spam. In fact, there are organizations dedicated to eliminating spam in our lifetime! Spam Assassin supports many of the most popular, published blacklists compiled by organizations like mail-abuse.com, ordb.org and others.

Simply download these blacklists, enter them into Spam Assassin and the black hats on those blacklists are stopped cold.  And, it’s easily updatable.

Vipul’s Razor

Razor is an on-line collaborative that maintains a unique, spam-tracking database. Each email has its own signature (identification numbers) which can be recorded in the Razor database. Once listed as spam, this email will be blocked from hundreds of unsuspecting websites.

Using Razor, you can get proactive in eliminating spam from your bandwidth by reporting spam emails to the database and protecting hundreds of other site owners who, in turn, report spam to protect you.

Working together, the ecommerce world is eliminating spam one slice at a time.
