Not all spam filters are created equal.
If you’ve ever used basic email hosting, chances are you’ve relied on default spam filtering—like SpamAssassin in cPanel, simple keyword blocking, or client-side filters in apps like Outlook.
While these tools work to a degree, they don’t offer the real-time protection and accuracy that modern businesses need.
That’s where SpamExperts stands out.
Let’s break down the key differences between traditional spam filters and SpamExperts, and why PLiKhost includes it with our premium hosting and email services.
🛡️ 1. Detection Accuracy
Traditional Filters:
-
Relies on basic rules or blacklists
-
Can be easily bypassed by slightly modified spam messages
-
Higher chance of false positives or letting spam through
SpamExperts:
-
Uses AI, pattern recognition, and machine learning
-
Continuously updated with global spam intelligence
-
Achieves up to 99.98% filtering accuracy
🧠 SpamExperts learns from global threats in real time—traditional filters don’t.
📥 2. Scope of Filtering
Traditional Filters:
-
Focus mostly on incoming mail
-
Limited or no protection for outgoing email
-
No tracking or centralized logging
SpamExperts:
-
Protects both incoming and outgoing email
-
Prevents your domain/IP from being used to send spam
-
Includes quarantine control, log search, and full transparency
📊 You get visibility, not just filtering.
🗂️ 3. Archiving & Compliance
Traditional Filters:
-
No built-in archiving
-
Deleted emails are permanently lost
-
No support for compliance or legal discovery
SpamExperts:
-
Optional email archiving for both inbound & outbound mail
-
Fully searchable archive
-
Tamper-proof and compliant with GDPR, SOX, HIPAA, etc.
📁 With SpamExperts, you can retrieve and audit any email—even years later.
🔧 4. Management & Usability
Traditional Filters:
-
Often require manual rule creation
-
Confusing interface for end users
-
Limited ability to manage quarantines or view delivery logs
SpamExperts:
-
Web-based user portal for quarantine review, log search, and message release
-
Intuitive, centralized control for users and admins
-
Fully managed by PLiKhost—no tech skills required
⚙️ More power, less complexity.
📬 5. Email Deliverability & Reputation
Traditional Filters:
-
No outgoing monitoring
-
You could unknowingly send spam (if compromised)
-
High risk of IP blacklisting
SpamExperts:
-
Actively filters outgoing mail to protect your IP reputation
-
Stops compromised accounts before damage is done
-
Improves email deliverability and trust
🟢 Your emails land in inboxes, not in spam folders.
