SpamSieve 2.2 gives you back your inbox
SpamSieve 2.2 brings 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 works with any number of mail accounts, of whatever types are supported by your e-mail software (e.g. POP, IMAP, Hotmail, AOL). It was named “Software of the Year” by Macworld magazine in February 2004.

New in this Version:

- The blocklist and whitelist can now import addresses, and they support additional match fields: From (name), Any Recipient, Any Address, Any Character Set, and Any Attachment Name.
- Additional notification options include flashing a Griffin PowerMate, Entourage sound sets, and access to sound files installed by your e-mail program.
- Apple Mail plug-in now protects against Web bugs, colors messages according to how spammy they are, and moves false positives back to the proper inbox.
