SpamSieve 2.1
SpamSieve 2.1 includes the following enhancements:
- Added support for Apple Mail POP accounts. POP messages can be marked as junk and colored, but (due to limitations in the present version of Apple Mail) they cannot be moved to another mailbox.
- Added a Training Tip window that gives advice on how to improve SpamSieve’s accuracy, based on the current state of the corpus and preferences.
- Rules in the whitelist and blocklist are no longer limited to just matching sender addresses. They can now match a variety of message fields (To, CC, Subject, etc.), as well as the message body. In addition to exact matches, rules now support the following match styles: contains, starts with, ends with (useful for matching domains), and Perl-compatible regular expressions. You can now edit rules and add new rules manually (as opposed to automatically, as a result of training SpamSieve with a message).
- When trained with a good message from a mailing list, SpamSieve will automatically create a whitelist rule based on a mailing list header, if present.
- SpamSieve can now read in the Entourage address book and use it as a whitelist. Thus, the Entourage rule can now give SpamSieve all the messages, not just the ones that were from unknown senders. This means that SpamSieve can now accurately notify the user when non-spam messages are received. Also, the statistics it keeps will be more complete.
- Improved the accuracy of the Bayesian classifier when the corpus is unbalanced.

Training tip window very helpful. I've gotten a couple of false positives lately and now know the reason why. Good addition. I knew better but just haven't been thinking. Very useful.
Would be nice if SpamSieve did not move itself to the front when it processes new mail from Eudora 6. I looked thru prefs but did not see an option to alter this.
It's not supposed to do that, and it doesn't on my machine. Is SpamSieve already running when you start receiving new mail? Please reply to spamsieve@c-command.com.
