The Setting Up Mailsmith section describes how to set up Mailsmith to filter
your mail using SpamSieve.
- Make sure that you are using version 2.3.1 or later of Mailsmith.
- Make sure that Use SpamSieve is checked in the preferences. If that
option is disabled:
- Make sure you have only one copy each of Mailsmith and SpamSieve
installed. If there are any old versions in the trash, empty the
trash.
- Launch SpamSieve directly from the Finder, by double-clicking its
icon. (Do not use the Dock icon or an application launcher.)
- Launch Mailsmith (again, by double-clicking its icon).
- Open Mailsmith’s Preferences window, and verify that the Use
SpamSieve option is enabled.
- If you are using the Leave it in “(incoming mail)” option, make sure
that a deposit or transfer filter isn’t acting on the spam messages
before your spam filter can.
- To test the connection between Mailsmith and SpamSieve, select a message
and choose Recalculate Spam Score from Mailsmith’s Message menu.
Then choose Log from the Window menu and verify that a “Predicted” entry
for that message was added to the log.
