SpamSieve 2.7 is available
The great SpamSieve was updated earlier this week to version 2.7. If you're unfamiliar with SpamSieve, you're probably inundated with unwanted email. It's a piece of software that works with your email client and excels at squashing spam long before you ever see it. Over time, it gets better at identifying what you consider spam as well as those benign messages you want to see. Version 2.7 offers many great improvements, including:
- Several variety of accuracy improvements, focused on dealing
- Improved corpus speed and memory use
- Various improvements to the column widths and alignments
- in the rules and corpus windows, and added alternating row
- colors
SpamSieve 2.7 is a free update for registered users and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

I am very pleased with the built-in spam filter in Apple Mail. Works 99 % for me.

SpamSieve works great. Mail.app's built-in junk filtering is okay, but SpamSieve does a much better job (for me at least).

Apple Mail's spam filter was really bad for me. I was always receiving the most obvious spam & Mail wasn't flagging it as spam.
As Eideard said Gmail's spam filters are good, but for my other (non Gmail email accounts) I've found SpamSieve to workmuch better than Apple Mail.

Originally, I set up my email address in gmail to be a spam trap - as I had done previously in Yahoo mail to less success.
Over time, I discovered that gmail's own spam filters approached 100% efficiency. That address is my primary email address.
Why add another layer?
