For all that nothing I get a squeaky clean in box with a rare spam intruder. That’s it! SpamSieve also knows my friends from my address book, and it can be told about specific address or domains in hundreds of direct ways if you care to, but mostly I simply do nothing. Then about twice a month I go through my Junk Mail box and pluck out two or three “goods” that got through with a single keystroke that again admonishes SpanSieve of their proper state. I needed only a few minutes fiddling to get it up and running, and thereafter, I merely delete the occasional stray spam with a keystroke that simultaneously scolds SpamSieve about its correct nature and sends it to the dump. Like many of the best spam filters SpamSieve uses Bayesian tricks to learn from your in-box what kind of mail you approve of and what you hate. I’ve used some good spam filters before but they didn’t learn fast enough, or needed too much attention to keep on top of their game. My wife, who has a Mac at work, was complaining about her spam load, and I realized, “oh my gosh, you mean you don’t know about SpamSieve?” I don’t have to open the app it somehow sits quietly behind most email programs. SpamSieve is so invisible and maintenance free that I’ve just about forgotten about it - despite the fact that my email has been widely posted on the web for 10 years. I have been using it for almost three years now and its statistics show that over that time it was 99% accurate. SpamSieve is the best spam filter for the Mac.
