C-Command has released SpamSieve v2.4.3, an update to its Bayesian spam filtering software for Mac OS X e-mail clients. A free update for registered users, SpamSieve costs $25 to register.
SpamSieve removes unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam) from e-mail clients including Apple’s Mail, Emailer, Entourage, Eudora, GyazMail, Mailsmith, Outlook Express 5 and PowerMail. It employs Bayesian filtering characteristics to figure out spam from good e-mail (ham), then gets the spam out of the way.
New to this release is improved accuracy — SpamSieve has been adapted to counteract various spammer tricks. A training delay in conjunction with Apple’s Mail has been removed; Entourage scripts now report progress partway through bulk trainings; Grown notifications now include the To: address header; An Intel-related problem related to SpamSieve’s corpus has been fixed (SpamSieve has already been updated with a Universal Binary), and other improvements have been made.
System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2 or later and a compatible e-mail client (listed above). A 30-day trial version is available for download.
