DESCRIPTION

SpamSieve gives you back your inbox by bringing powerful Bayesian spam filtering to popular e-mail clients.

It learns what your spam looks like, so it can block nearly all of it. It looks at your address book and learns what your good messages look like, so it won't confuse them with spam. Other spam filters get worse over time as spammers adapt to their rules; SpamSieve actually gets better over time as you train it with more messages. SpamSieve doesn't delete any messages--it only marks them in your e-mail client--so you'll never lose any mail. SpamSieve works with any number of mail accounts, of whatever types are supported by your e-mail software (e.g. POP, IMAP, Hotmail, AOL).

WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.6.6:
  • Made various accuracy improvements.
  • Rewrote internal corpus storage to work around a performance bug in Mac OS X 10.5 that could, in some circumstances, make SpamSieve very slow to launch.
  • Worked around a problem on Mac OS X 10.5 where the Apple Mail plug-in would sometimes try to launch multiple copies of SpamSieve (and then they’d all self-quit, leading to -609 errors).
  • Made some internal changes so that Use Growl global notification system works more reliably on Mac OS X 10.5.
  • The Flash PowerMate notification feature now works with version 2.1 of the PowerMate software.
  • If SpamSieve’s corpus file or history database is damaged, you can now hold down the Command and Option keys at launch to reset them.
  • Growl notifications are now posted from a background thread, to speed up message filtering.
  • Fixed bug where the open panel for the Import Addresses… command was slow.
  • Worked around a problem that could cause corruption of SpamSieve’s Entourage scripts.
  • Fixed rare crash when processing HTML messages.
  • If SpamSieve is unable to install its Apple Mail plug-in, it now does a better job of helping you complete the installation manually.
  • Integration with Apple Mail and Entourage no longer relies on the mydefaults command-line tool, since it had some limitations and there were occasional problems installing it.
  • The software updater is better at handling invalid downloads folders.
  • Added Dutch localization and updated the other localizations.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3 or later. Works with Apple Mail, Emailer, Entourage, Outlook Express, Eudora 5.2 or 6.x (Sponsored or Paid), Mailsmith (bundled with Mailsmith 2.0.2), GyazMail 1.2, PowerMail, and Thunderbird.

EDMUND51  Found this application via a google search.

I just convert from PC to mac and had a similar product.

I can't tell you how much well it works.

I have multiple web pages that had my email address listed on them. On any given day I receive somewhere around 500 emails only 30 or so are not spam.

After I installed SpamSieve 99.99% of the junk goes in the spam box.  (Version 2.6.6)

F451  I have so tried so many of these applications throughout the years, but SpamSieve is the definitive spam filter application. Excellent support, and application.  (Version 2.6.6)

GARY30  I used to use SpamSieve and it is a great product worth 5 stars. I have a public email address on my website and various other email boxes that go back to 1994. So SpamSieve has been essential.

However, recently I had to go out of town for an extended period of time and wanted to be able to access all my email from a single service with a web interface if needed. I selected gmail and arranged to forward all my email accounts (except for a free yahoo account) to the gmail account. Result: Zero spam and complete transparency as far as the senders are aware. I could have literally not told anyone I was gone and could have received and replied to all email using the original "Sent To" addresses for my replies.

Not that there is anything wrong with SpamSieve, but one less program to run is one less to deal with and upgrade. So far, gmail has a perfect spam rejection/wanted email acceptance record.  (Version 2.6.6)

DOC RENAUD  The best, still the best !

Catch ALL spam, and never a single false positive. Absolutely amazing !!!

Yes, take the time to set it up (not a big deal, really) and you are greatly awarded.

And no, I'm not the son of the developer.  (Version 2.6.6)
