SpamSieve 2.1
SpamSieve 2.1 is now available.
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).
SpamSieve now requires Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later. To update from SpamSieve
2.x, just replace the old application file with the new one. There's no
need to re-copy the scripts or plug-in.
Entourage Users: SpamSieve can now read the Entourage address book
directly. If you are...
