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:
- SpamSieve is now much better at catching a new type of spam message that previous versions had been inconsistent at catching.
- Worked around some more spammer tricks to improve accuracy.
- Improved the way message attachments are analyzed.
- Fixed bug that could cause improper analysis of messages from Apple Mail or Eudora, leading to reduced accuracy.
- Improved phish detection.
- Improved the performance of the Apple Mail training commands on Tiger and Jaguar.
- Made some changes to the way spam messages are colored in Apple Mail. Now, the most spammy color (blue) is reserved for messages with scores 99 or higher, i.e. messages that matched a blocklist rule, had encoded HTML parts, or were known to definitely be spam.
- The Show Window command in Apple Mail can now open the SpamSieve help.
- Under certain circumstances, SpamSieve can now detect at launch whether the application package is damaged, rather than too-quietly reporting errors in the log during message processing.
- Improved the troubleshooting documentation.
- Updated the Japanese localization.

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.

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?).
