SpamSieve Testimonials (Apple Mail)
I don’t know what others experiences have been with your product but I can’t believe how easy to set up and use it is! Not only is the installation easy but the effectiveness of weeding out the B.S. spam is dare I say 100%.
Great product. With 20% of my messages spam, and Mail.app’s inbuilt filter struggling to identify half of that, SpamSieve has done great in the trial period buying was a no-brainer. Thanks.
I was so discouraged and frustrated by all the junk and spam that came into my mail box every day, I was getting to the point of hating to check my e-mail. I tried the filters on my ISP—it did little good. I tried the Junk Filter in Apple Mail… it worked better for awhile but eventually I was still getting an average of 100–200 spam e-mails a day.
I bought SpamSieve and it has literally changed my e-mail experience. I now get 1–3 messages I don’t want daily. And I know that once I tell SpamSieve to catch them, I will never hear from them again. Thanks guys for a great product.
BTW, I have been a Mac Freak since 1985 and have been on the Internet or Compuserve since 1988. So I know what I am talking about.
If you haven’t already, try SpamSieve 2.0.2—it’s unbelievable. Very good, infinitely better than Mail’s Junk filter.
About 2 months ago, the junk mail filter in Apple Mail (OS X 10.3) completely stopped working. My initial search of spam filtering software led me to Spamfire which I used for about 2 months. However, at the level where it worked well, I had too many false negatives.
I just read about Spamsieve in MacHome magazine and am trying it out now. I am in my 4th day. I am completely blown away by how accurate it is.
This leaves the built-in feature of Mail.app so far behind you can’t even see the cloud of dust.
Thank you, Michael! Keep up the good work. I had to resort to SpamSieve when my Mail.application junk mail filter spontaneously broke yesterday. SpamSieve is 10x better than Apple’s junk mail filter.
I have to say, it’s working fabulously—much better than Apple Mail’s filters.
I’ve given up on the built-in Junk Mail filter and am having much more success with SpamSieve. (FWIW, Thunderbirds filter seems to suffer in similar ways to Mail’s.
I’ve been using Spam Sieve since this spring, and its easily the best of its kind for the Mac platform.
I’d like to say “thank you” for writing SpamSieve. After reading about it in Macworld, I gave it a try. I must say I was stunned at how quickly and completely it has gone to work. I simply NEVER get any more spam. In fact, it’s almost sad—I now realize how few actual e-mails I normally get. Mail’s junk mail feature really never worked all that well, and I can’t help but wonder why they didn’t use the tech you’ve used.
Thanks! This is a FABULOUS program! I wanted to use Entourage but was reluctant to give up Mail because of its spam filter. But yours is much better!
