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:

  • Made various changes to improve SpamSieve’s accuracy, particularly when processing blank messages, HTML messages, and messages containing images.
  • Quit when mail client quits is now enabled by default.
  • Log entries are now abbreviated when the string that matched the rule is long.
  • The Apple Mail Train as Good command can now move messages out of submailboxes of the Junk mailbox.
  • The Apple Mail plug-in installer works better when the folder permissions are messed up.
  • Can now auto-recover from damaged message store files, rather than complaining to the user about them.
  • If SpamSieve is hidden when launched, it will refrain from opening the Training Tip window.
  • Improved the documentation, training tips, and localizations.
  • Various code modernization and bullet-proofing throughout.
  • Fixed localization bugs that could cause crashes.
  • Fixed crash when hiding the progress panel.
  • Fixed crash when saving false negatives to disk.
  • Made changes to the Entourage scripts to try to work around an OS bug that causes them to grow and eventually become corrupted.
  • Worked around OS bug to prevent freezes when attempting to play damaged sound files.

SpamSieve Troubleshooting ReportCan'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?).

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.

SpamSieve CommentaryDid 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.
