3.6   Setting Up MailMate

  1. Make sure that you are using MailMate 1.1.2 or later.
  2. In MailMate’s General preferences, make sure that SpamSieve is checked and that it’s set to apply to new messages from the Inbox.
  3. The Mark messages as Not Junk if score is below setting does not affect SpamSieve or its filtering. Rather, if SpamSieve thinks a message is less spammy than the score that you enter, MailMate will tell the mail server that it’s not junk, and it will also decide that it’s safe to display any remote images that the message references.
  1. Now proceed to the Do an Initial Training section. To train SpamSieve with spam messages, select the messages and click the Move to Junk button, or choose Message ‣ Junk State ‣ Junk from the menu bar. To train SpamSieve with good messages, select the messages and click the Not Junk or Move Out of Junk button, or choose Message ‣ Junk State ‣ Not Junk from the menu bar.

SpamSieve will process new mail automatically. The Spam Score column shows how spammy SpamSieve thought each message was, on a scale from 0 to 100 (with 50 and above meaning spam).
