SpamSieve 2.7.5

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

Version 2.7.5:

Main Features

• Powerful Bayesian spam filtering results in high accuracy and
  almost no false positives. It adapts to the mail that you
  receive to get even better with time. Some other e-mail clients
  include Bayesian filters, but SpamSieve is more accurate.
• Integrates with your e-mail client for a superior user experience.
  Plus, you get the same great filtering if you ever switch e-mail
  clients or use more than one at a time.
• Integrates with the Mac OS X Address Book (and also Eudora’s and
  Entourage’s address books) so that messages from friends and
  colleagues are never marked as spam.
• Automatically maintains a blocklist so that it can instantly adapt
  to spam messages sent from particular addresses, and catch 100% of
  them.
• Automatically maintains a whitelist to guarantee that messages from
  particular senders or mailing lists are never marked as spam,
  without cluttering your address book with these addresses.
• You can customize the whitelist and blocklist, adding sophisticated
  rules that match various message headers, or the message body. The
  rules can match text in a variety of ways, including using regular
  expressions.
• Can use the Habeas Safelist, which indicates messages that are
  not spam, as well as the “ADV” subject tag indicating that a message
  is spam.
• Many spammers encode the contents of their messages so that filters
  cannot see the incriminating words they contain. SpamSieve can
  decode and look inside these messages. Optionally it can mark them
  all as spam, on the theory that legitimate senders do not try to
  obscure their messages.
• SpamSieve keeps track of how accurate it is, how many good and spam
  messages you receive, and how these numbers change over time.
• Turn off new-mail notification in your e-mail client, and let
  SpamSieve notify you only when you receive non-spam messages.
• The corpus window and log let you see how each spam message was
  caught.
