Version 2.3.2 of SpamSieve is now available.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

  • Made various improvements to increase SpamSieve’s accuracy.
  • Added Quit when mail client quits option.
  • Sped up filtering when Growl notifications are enabled. Improved the text/layout of the Growl notifications.
  • Re-installing or updating Eudora could have the effect of re-enabling Eudora’s built-in junk plug-ins. This could reduce the filtering accuracy and cause unexpected behavior as multiple plug-ins acted on the same messages. Now, if SpamSieve detects that its Eudora plug-in is installed, it will automatically disable any other Eudora junk plug-ins.
  • When you reset the corpus, SpamSieve automatically creates a dated backup so that it’s possible to revert, if need be.
  • The pop-up menu for selecting the uncertainty threshold now supports scores as high as 98. This makes it possible to designate all non-blocklisted spam messages as uncertain.
  • The S and G indicators are now only shown in the Dock icon after manual training, not auto-training.
  • The log is now UTF-8 rather than ASCII, so it should be much more readable for people using localized versions of SpamSieve.
  • More errors are now logged.
  • Better at finding sound files that are built into Mailsmith.
  • Worked around Tiger bug that would cause archived log files to not decompress automatically when opened.
  • Fixed regression where SpamSieve could crash if you tried to install the Entourage scripts when Entourage was not installed.
  • Fixed bug in Apple Mail’s Train as Good, where it didn’t always move messages out of the Spam mailbox if there were lots of recipients.
  • Fixed Entourage Train Good script to not make a new Uncertain Junk category when one already exists (but Entourage says that it doesn’t).
  • Worked around AppleScript error that could occur when running Entourage scripts.
  • The regex code is more bulletproof in the face of rare OS errors.
  • Added better heuristic for determining which files SpamSieve can import addresses from. This should prevent some rare crashes.
  • Updated the Habeas link in the Preferences window.
  • The history database is more robust on Tiger.
  • The Purchase window now makes it more clear when the serial number has been successfully entered. Merged the Web Purchase… and Instant Purchase… buttons.
  • Adjusted the way the remaining demo time is displayed, as it led many people to believe that they had less than a month of total trial time.
  • Improved training tips and the manual.
  • Added French translation of manual. Updated Vietnamese manual. Fixed regression where the Italian and Vietnamese manuals were inaccessible.
