Spam. Bleh. We all hate it. Some would rather eat the canned stuff than look at all the junk e-mail that gets dumped into their inboxes. Filtering out spam can be a tedious process. Fortunately, we provide our customers with an excellent spam filtering system on the mail servers. Just by default your mail is automatically rated according to the possibility of it being spam. Have you seen some mail come in with the subject line starting with *SPAM ? That is our spam filtering system working. This makes it easy for you to filter your e-mail from your web based or POP e-mail client. We use this system because it has less risk of you losing important e-mail. Of course, we realize that some may not wish to have spam filtering on the server side, or may want to just provide their own filtering from their e-mail clients. If you wish to have the spam filtering system removed from your mail server on your domain, please let us know by e-mailing us at support@activewebhosting.com. We will then set the domain so that mail to that domain does not go through the spam filter, but instead goes directly to your inboxes on that domain. Please be sure to let us know which domain on which you want the filtering turned off. Learn more about how our Spam Server works.

You can also customize the filtering of any of your email addresses using whitelisting settings. We also have tutorials on how to set up your e-mail program to filter spam and a growing list of Spam Keywords To Add To Your Filter Lists.

Unfortunately, spam is an undesireable part of the internet experience. However, we have ways to help send those nasty e-mails packing. Please also check out our other information on how to control spam.
