Product Description:

Like your professional e-mail client, but jealous of Mail.app's spam filter? SpamSieve brings powerful Bayesian spam filtering to other popular e-mail clients. It learns what your spam looks like, so it can block nearly all of it. It also 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).

What's new in this version:

  • Added support for Emailer and Eudora (5.2 and later).
  • Decodes base64 and quoted-printable text parts, thus finding words that spammers try to hide from anti-spam software.
  • Keeps track of the messages added to the corpus, and can optionally prevent you from adding the same message more than once (biasing the counts). Thus, you no longer have to remember which messages you've already added.
  • You can now "undo" adds to the corpus, e.g. if you added a message as good when you meant to add it as spam.
  • Can now add messages to the corpus as they are filtered, so after the initial training you only have to add messages when SpamSieve makes a mistake.
  • When filtering a message, SpamSieve can optionally check whether the message is in the corpus. If it is, SpamSieve looks up the answer rather than trying to predict.
  • Keeps a log of additions to the corpus, filtering results, and errors.
  • When you add spam messages to the corpus, can optionally move them to a Spam folder.
  • Added status indicators in the Dock icon (like Norton DiskLight).
  • Improved the manual's instructions for e-mail client integration.
  • Complete change list available.

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?).

SpamSieve CommentaryCompatibility - Version: 2.7.7, 10/20/2009 03:44PM PST

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.
