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).

YAZSOFT SUPPORT I get very stressed out and paranoid when I'm checking my email on a machine with out SpamSieve. This utility is a true blessing and one powerful spam-buster!!! Never check email without it.

MISHA I've been using SpamSieve for years—it's the best solution out there for Mac users, and Michael keeps improving it. I only wish that it was easier to transfer configurations and corpuses to other Macs. Right now it's a fairly tedious process of copying a few different things over (Preferences, Application Support, the app itself, and any scripts that you have changed). .Mac syncing or something similar would rock!

ZIGGY29 SpamSieve is the best consumer-grade, easy-to-use spam filter I've ever used, bar none. I've done system/network administration on Unix, Mac and Windows systems, and for the end-user there is simply not a better spam filter I've ever seen. Once trained, it catches well over 99% of the spam and virtually never records a false positive. I've compared the spam filters in both Apple Mail and Microsoft Entourage, and while both of those are competent (though sometimes lacking), SpamSieve just gets better and better at identifying and quarantining spam as you use it more. At the $20 price point it would be even more compelling. But for those of us who would get dozens of spams day after day, every day, the $30 price point is still worthwhile in terms of reduced aggravation and lost productivity dealing with massive waves of junk e-mail.

RODPAINE As others here have expressed, this little application does an excellent job of snagging SPAM and its learning feature works very well. I am using it with an older version of Eudora Pro under OS X 10.4.11 and it has served me well for a long time. | |

SILVASURFER As a registered user I have been using this app now for close to 18 months and nothing comes close to it for spam catching & protection. No it won't solve all your spam issues (what does?) but it is the best mac program out there. Recommend to all my friends who have switched and or bought new macs and they are very impressed. Constantly update, good documentation and a responsive developer. A must have app for you Mac!

FRYE I've been using this for a while with Entourage, and as others have said, it is simply the best protection you can find for your inbox. Between my service provider stopping spam at the source (so I never have to see it) and SS stopping the ones that trickle through, it is truly a time-saver. Like many people I have different email accounts for different purposes, so spam can and does get unruly. SS is the only solution I've found that makes a difference. While it is difficult to set up (you definitely need the help guide), once done it basically runs on its own. I think the price is a little steep, and would recommend the developer charge $19.99, but I can also understand wanting to get compensated for the blood and sweat that went into creating the application. I think at a lower price point, they could sell even more copies, which in turn will take an even larger bite out of the spam inundating inboxes everywhere.

ORION MK. V I've tried many spam filter tools over the years. SpamSieve continues to remain the most reliable and effective, yet unobtrusive tool there is. Easy to uninstall or reinstall if there are issues as well.

MOUSEE I've been using this software for years and it is working in the background, doing a great job. It catches 99.9% of spam messages, and rarely sends a valid one to the spam box. Stability is great and so is the ease of use. Upgrades have been coming when needed, and the developer is not charging for them unless a major one is released. Great policy, thanks!

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.
