Product 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 in this version:

Now works with Apple Mail (IMAP and .Mac only, not POP).
The message count in the Dock icon now resets when an e-mail client becomes active (rather than just when SpamSieve became active). You can also control the size and position of the number in the Dock icon.
Much faster at deleting lots of rules at once.
Replaced the message store database with custom code that’s faster and more reliable.
Improved accuracy for HTML messages containing links.
Importing mbox files is faster.
Fixed bug where you couldn’t use Web registration after the demo period had expired.
The log records which addresses matched the whitelist or blocklist.
The log records corpus imports.
Auto-training is faster.
The Entourage Add Spam script can close the frontmost window if it’s spam.
Fixed bug where the date in the Statistics window could get cut off if you changed it to use a more verbose format.
Worked around OS bug that caused dates like “01.09.2003” to be interpreted as January 9 in German-style locales.
Added Copy button to the Statistics window.
Fixed problem updating certain history databases from 1.3.1.
More resilient to minor corpus file corruption.
Fixed crash that could happen with improperly formed multi-part messages.
Shows the number of blocklist or whitelist rules in the title bar.
The whitelist now contains some c-command.com addresses by default.
Fixed crash when opening the Statistics window while adding messages.
The Statistics window shows ratios, where applicable.
Assorted minor performance improvements.
The modification dates of the AppleScripts are now the actual modification dates, not the date the distribution was built.

Can't Mount DMG on Tiger! - Version: 2.7.7, 10/21/2009 02:49PM PST

Jason!

I've never ever had a problem with this great software. But for whatever reason, upon downloading the 2.7.7 DMG today (10 times, mind you, both automatically and manually), I was unable to Mount the DMG. I get a "no mountable file systems" very time.

I have seen this in the past with a couple other DMGs not related to SpamSieve. But I was able to resolve the problem on those simply by using Disk Utility to "Convert" the DMG to a Read/Write or Read Only format. I tried that on this Spam Sieve DMG and it doesn't work.

So for now, I am unable to upgrade due to what appears to be a bug in the DMG (Tiger incompatibility?).

I think the .dmg is fine

SpamSeive 2.7.7 works with OS X 10.6.1, but not with the latest (beta) versions of Eudora 8 and Thunderbird. I had to downgrade Thunderbird to start the trial period on SpamSeive. As it turned out, that wasn't difficult. But it was a nuisance.

Did OS 10.6.1 break SpamSieve? - Version: 2.7.6, 9/11/2009 11:02AM PST

I just read a person claiming that the Mail update with OS 10.6.1 doesn't play with this version of SpamSieve.

Can anyone confirm that's true? If so, I may hold off on installing 10.6.1.
