Why Choose SpamSieve?

Given that e-mail clients such as Apple Mail, Entourage, and Eudora include their own integrated spam filters, you may be wondering why you should consider SpamSieve. The answer is simple: SpamSieve’s higher accuracy will save you time. Let’s see how the experts compare it with these other program’s filters:

Apple Mail

NetNewsWire creator Brent Simmons recently switched to SpamSieve:

Simply put: it catches my spam far more accurately than Mail ever did. Mail never came close.

Entourage

Macworld’s April 2003 cover story, describing Entourage’s filter:

Poor; identified only 18 percent of spam; flagged 13 percent of legitimate mail as spam.

Macworld later honored SpamSieve with a 2003 Editor’s Choice Award and named it Software of the Year (February 2004).

Eudora

Macworld’s review of Eudora 6:

I found that SpamSieve was a more effective spam blocker than Eudora 6’s built-in filters.

In addition, SpamSieve works with the free Sponsored edition of Eudora; Eudora’s own spam filter requires the $50 Paid version of Eudora.

SpamAssassin

Daring Fireball’s John Gruber evaluated SpamAssassin, which is installed on his ISP’s mail server:

So far in September, SpamSieve has been 99.7 percent accurate for me. About 3300 messages total, 2000 of which were spam. I’ve had 10 false negatives, and zero false positives. In fact, I haven’t had a single false positive, ever, with any of the SpamSieve 2.0 betas.

This compares very favorably to SpamAssassin. Over the same period, SpamAssassin had over 90 false negatives—all of which SpamSieve caught.
