“SpamSieve is just incredibly, amazingly accurate; my In box is clean, baby, clean!” David Pogue, The New York Times |
“Best email spam filter for the Mac, period.” John Gruber, Daring Fireball |
SpamSieve gives you back your inbox, using powerful Bayesian spam filtering to provide amazing accuracy that’s constantly improving. | It’s quick and easy to control SpamSieve from within Apple Mail (Mail.app), Airmail, Entourage, MailMate, Mailsmith, Outlook, Postbox, PowerMail, and more. | ||
SpamSieve learns and adapts to your mail, so it’s able to block nearly all the junk—without putting good messages in the spam mailbox. | Turn off new-mail notification in your e-mail client and let SpamSieve notify you only when you receive new non-spam messages. | ||
Automatically maintains a whitelist to guarantee that messages from previous correspondents are never marked as spam. | Integrates with your contacts so that messages from friends and colleagues always make it through to your inbox. | ||
Maintains a blocklist so that it can instantly stop the spam messages sent from particular addresses and catch 100% of them. | Customize the whitelist and blocklist by adding your own rules. Use a variety of criteria, e.g. regular expressions, to match different message parts. | ||
Spammers encode and obfuscate their messages and use phishing tactics, but SpamSieve can decode the messages to discern their true nature. | SpamSieve looks inside attached images and documents to detect spammy content even when the message itself is virtually empty. | ||
Colors show how spammy each message is, so you can quickly focus on the borderline ones if you want to check SpamSieve’s work. | SpamSieve keeps track of how accurate it is, how many good and spam messages you receive, and how these numbers change over time. | ||
The log lets you see everything that SpamSieve did, and why, so that you can tweak the settings if necessary. | SpamSieve running on your Mac can keep the spam off your iPhone/iPad, and you can even train SpamSieve from afar. |
