Email Spam Filtering and Security Features
Fast2Host provides multiple layers of protection against spam, viruses, and malicious email. Our system combines advanced filtering technologies, global spam databases, and firewall protection to keep your inbox safe and efficient.
Core Spam Filtering Technologies
- Bayesian Filtering: Uses statistical analysis to learn what spam looks like and adapts over time.
- SPF (Sender Policy Framework): Validates that incoming email is sent from authorized servers, reducing spoofed email.
- Reverse DNS: Confirms that the sending server has a valid DNS record, blocking suspicious sources.
- SpamHaus SBL/XBL: Industry-leading spam block lists used to identify known spammers and compromised hosts.
- SpamCop: Real-time spam reporting database that helps block active spam sources.
Firewall Protection
Our Juniper SSG firewall provides an additional layer of defense, scanning for viruses and spam
before messages reach your mailbox.
User-Controlled Spam Lists
You can maintain your own spam list by logging in to your webmail account at
http://webmail.fast2host.com.
This allows you to block specific senders or domains according to your preferences.
Advanced Content Filtering
Create filters step-by-step with an easy-to-use interface. Over 25 types of filters allow you to handle almost any scenario,
from keyword blocking to automatic folder routing.
Folder Auto-Clean
Establish policies that automatically delete old email messages in Deleted Items, Junk E-Mail, and Sent Items folders.
This helps keep disk space under control. Domain administrators or end users can override settings for flexibility.
✔ Tip: Combine Bayesian filtering, SPF, reverse DNS, and global spam lists for maximum protection.
Regularly review your personal spam list in webmail to fine-tune your filtering.
