When I say I had a lot of spam to handle, I’m talking about 50 an hour.…My experience of spam handling software was limited to Outlook, and my opinion was it wasn’t that good.…At the point I decided I was moving to the Mac…I setup a few Gmail accounts ferrying mail from one to the other to try and reduce the amount of spam I was getting. But I can’t get it down to nothing…I was still getting about 300 a day. And that’s when I came across this product called SpamSieve. I had a go with just the junk mail filtering that was in Apple Mail. And, no, it couldn’t really cope. It was making mistakes, both positive and negative.…Over time with SpamSieve, things get better. It learns.…It’s very very clever, and yet it’s pretty simple in use.…I haven’t seen one spam message in my inbox in two months. I haven’t seen one false positive in that long, either.
October 2007 - Rubin Recommends recommends SpamSieve:

…since phones don’t have junk mail filtering it’s amazing to use this. All you do is open your mail client a few times a day or at the end of the day and if you’re using IMAP it will suck all the junk mail messages out and off the server so when your phone goes to check it, it’s only the messages you want. Also you don’t have to spend time tidying up your Phone’s inbox because at the end of the day you can open your mail client and it will clean it up!

September 2007 - MacLife’s Can Spam For Good (p.37) recommends SpamSieve:

For heavy email users, Mail’s built-in spam filter may not be enough. Our favorite replacement is SpamSieve.…The difference is hardiness and aptitude—within two days SpamSieve was trapping spam that had eluded Mail for months.
August 2007 - Karelia Software’s Sandvox e-mail alert said:

We’re adding [a “Good Karma”] feature to our e-mail alerts, and today we’re giving some unsolicited testimonial to some packages you might want to check out.

SpamSieve—$30 from C-Command Software—is recent discovery of ours. We have been trying a number of spam-filtering techniques here at Karelia, and nothing has even come close to this gem. It’s an add-on that you attach to Apple Mail or just about any Mac-compatible client; its filters are astoundingly accurate. It’s also trainable so its performance improves over time.
August 2007 - MacMerc writes:

If I had a list (and maybe I should compile one) of absolute-must-have Mac apps, [C-Command’s] SpamSieve would certainly be in the top 5…maybe even the top 2.…I’ve been using SpamSieve for almost 4 years now and the tactics spammers use to foil the common filters have changed over that period of time. Methods used by other spam filters (including the Junk Mail filer in Apple’s own Mail.app) have been rendered effectively useless agains the modern spammer, but SpamSieve remains in control.
July 2007 - SpamSieve makes Jim Mitchell’s list of 10 Mac Apps I’d Be Lost Without:

Tightly integrated with GyazMail (and other clients), SpamSieve does a bang up job of dealing with those little blue pill emails and overseas lottery notifications. I can’t even fathom having to manage the slew of garbage that drops in my inbox everyday without this app. One of the biggest time-saving software purchases I’ve made.
July 2007 - Issue 34 of MacGuide (p. 44) reviews SpamSieve 2.6.1 and rates it 93%:

June 2007 — Macworld’s “Spam fighters: Seven utilities that can help to rid your inbox of junk” (p. 32) concludes:

The name SpamSieve should be on the lips of any Mac user serious about ridding his or her computer of junk mail. It’s affordable, effective, easy to use, and configurable. While other spam utilities may filter your mail nearly as well, none performs the job as transparently as C-Command’s SpamSieve 2.6.1.
May 2007 - Macworld’s “Filter your spam” video recommends SpamSieve.
April 2007 - Macinstruct’s How to Stop Spam tutorial recommends SpamSieve:

This is probably the first and last spam filtering application you’ll ever need. If you train it correctly, it’ll bust spam like none other!
April 2007 - Christopher Breen reviews SpamSieve 2.6 in Macworld:

SpamSieve 2.6.1 is the gold standard of spam utilities, by which other utilities should be judged. It earns this high regard for a variety of reasons, not least of which are its accuracy and ease of use.
April 2007 - Ian Betteridge reviews SpamSieve 2.6 in the April 13 MacUser UK (p. 42):

[Apple] Mail on its own spotted 90 spams, with one false positive among the good mails. Thunderbird alone spotted 86 spam emails, with no false positives. Thunderbird with SpamSieve, though, managed to spot every single spam email, with no false positives at all.
April 2007 - Joe Kissell reviews six Mac spam filters for IT Management and chooses SpamSieve:

April 2007 - Macworld’s Stop Today’s Spam article (p.72) recommends SpamSieve:

The filters built into Mail and Entourage aren’t bad, but some add-on tools are much more sophisticated. My favorite is Michael Tsai’s $30 SpamSieve 2.5. It has been more than 99 percent accurate in my tests and offers numerous ways to customize and improve its results.
March 2007 - The Seattle Times recommends SpamSieve:

What I needed was some kind of super junk e-mail filter that would somehow know what was bad and good.…In just a few days, the accuracy became so good that SpamSieve’s accuracy in detecting spam on my computer is now at about 99.8 percent. Now I have my computer back.
March 2007 - On the March 2 edition of the Computer America radio show, host Craig Crossman and guest Chris Breen discuss SpamSieve.

It’s spooky how accurate it gets.

January 2007 - Kevin Kelly recommends SpamSieve in his list of Cool Tools:

SpamSieve is the best spam filter for the Mac. It’s incredibly accurate yet invisible. I have been using it for almost three years now and its statistics show that over that time it was 99% accurate. SpamSieve is so invisible and maintenance free that I’ve just about forgotten about it—despite the fact that my e-mail has been widely posted on the Web for 10 years.
January 2007 - MacAddict recommends SpamSieve in its “AutoDespamification” how-to (p. 70).
December 2006 - The MacReviewCast names SpamSieve one of the top 10 shareware apps of 2006 (audio starting at 9:30):

November 2006 - The Apple Blog’s 10 OS X Apps You Might Not Know About But Should:

Spam is an unfortunate fact of life…or is it? It hasn’t been for me in almost a year. I’ve abandoned the junk filter in Apple’s Mail app in favor of Michael Tsai’s SpamSieve. It’s incredibly accurate and really is the best spam filter I’ve ever used. No mac should be without this! It’s got a low $30 price tag for so much power.
November 2006 - ScreenCastsOnline shows how to use SpamSieve with Apple Mail.
November 2006 - The Mac Observer reviews SpamSieve 2.5 and rates it “Outstanding”:

Why bother buying an extra application when Mail and Entourage have their own built-in spam filtering features? Simple: Because SpamSieve does a better job. If you get lots of email messages, and lots of spam along with them, SpamSieve is a must have application.

May 2006 - .net Magazine reviews SpamSieve (page 60):

We don’t usually get excited about spam filters, but we’ll make an exception for SpamSieve. This OS X spam-killer plugs into most major OS X clients (including Entourage) and does a sterling job not just of zapping spam, but also of making sure that legitimate messages don’t get zapped by mistake.
May 2006 - About.com reviews SpamSieve 2.4.3.
April 2006 - David Pogue recommends SpamSieve in his New York Times e-mail column:

Spam Sieve is just incredibly, amazingly accurate; my In box is clean, baby, clean!

Once or twice a day, I take a look at my Junk Mail folder and literally grin with glee. There they are, all together, stewing in their own sleazy juices: all the ads for Viagra and Cialis; all the stupid phony phishing e-mails from eBay, PayPal and Chase Bank; all the foreign-language spam; all the messages that contain nothing but a big pasted graphic ad for pills; and on and on.

And in about 2,000 spam messages flagged so far, I’ve encountered not a single legitimate message flagged as spam. Now THAT is a great feature.
March 2006 - Matt Asay at InfoWorld says that if you “don’t like spam…you need SpamSieve.”

November 2005 - TidBITS #806 covers the release of SpamSieve 2.4 and offers a $5-off coupon for Take Control readers.

June 2005 - J.D. Roth writes:

If I could have only one third-party Macintosh application, it would be SpamSieve.
May 2005 - iCreate #18’s “50 Must-Have Mac Apps” cover story includes SpamSieve:
Almost all mail applications, including Entourage and Mail, have their own built-in spam filters. Some are better than others but almost all can be improved upon. SpamSieve [is] an even more effective spam filter [than Apple Mail’s]. After a bit of training, false positives and negatives tend to go away, leaving you with an inbox untained by herbal Viagra and requests to confirm your Bank of Washington security settings. Since Tsai updates the product frequently, SpamSieve is often ahead of the built-in junk filters and in keeping up with spammers’ latest techniques. Better still, it gives junk filtering abilities to email programs that never had the ability to spot junk mail.
April 2005 - The Apple Blog reviews SpamSieve 2.3:
[SpamSieve] is the answer to spam on Mac OS X.…I don’t normally go for shareware in the fairly rarefied over-$20 realm, but SpamSieve is absolutely worth it. Eudora users will find it half the cost of an upgrade to Eudora’s Paid mode (which is required to use the vastly inferior built-in junk mail filters). SpamSieve will pay for itself within a month by freeing you from worrying about whether or not your junk mail filter(s) caught anything important.
March 2005 - Jason Fried at 37signals recommends SpamSieve:
SpamSieve (Mac OS X) is the best spam filter I’ve ever used. Unreal accuracy and it keeps getting better. So far it’s 99% accurate over 8000 messages. Really great.
February 2005 - SpamSieve is on Daring Fireball’s short list of Apps of the Year, 2004:

Michael Tsai’s SpamSieve epitomizes the idea of utility software that does one thing, and does it well. What SpamSieve does is identify spam in your email, and it does so with accuracy that approaches perfection.

SpamSieve 2.2 was released in August, ostensibly as a relatively minor feature to SpamSieve 2.x. My results with 2.2 (and continuing up through the current 2.2.4 release) have been a decided and noticeable increase in accuracy. SpamSieve went from great to really great.
February 2005 - SpamSieve is on Surf-Bits’s Top Ten Software Picks
January 2005 - Michael Alderete surveys anti-spam tools:

[SpamSieve] only took a training pass at my archived spam and Inbox (a few thousand messages between them), and a couple of days use proved that it was noticeably better than SpamWatch.

Its final fault gone, and with the best scoring engine and perfect integration with Eudora, it is by far the best tool I’ve used for managing the amount of spam I get, and I’m happily using it today. Compatible with virtually every e-mail client running on Mac OS X, it totally deserves its reputation as being the best anti-spam tool available on my platform of choice. Highly, highly recommended.

If you like Mail.app, since you can use SpamSieve with it, that’s what I’d recommend doing, and blow off the built-in junk mail controls.
November 2004 - Mac Annoyances by John Rizzo recommends SpamSieve (p. 26):

The easiest, most effective Bayesian filter is SpamSieve.…Mail’s built-in filter is pretty good, but SpamSieve is more accurate and catches more spam than Apple Mail. SpamSieve is also safe—in the 11,000 messages SpamSieve has filtered for me, it has only once incorrectly identified a legitimate message as spam.
November 2004 - Australian IT writes:

We opened a bottle of good Aussie bubbly here at The Barrow the other day to celebrate the first day in several years that we hadn’t received a single spam message in our email inbox.

We raised a glass to US software developer Michael Tsai, the man behind SpamSieve, a program that has changed our office life and promises to restore our sanity.
November 2004 - macHOME (p. 42) writes:
Mailsmith has excellent spam protection. In fact, it too can be tightly integrated with SpamSieve, just like PowerMail. We think she’d love how it would handle her junk mail easily, and with only a minimum of configuration. (“I don’t have to think about it? Great!”)
October 2004 - Macworld E-Mail Survival Guide (p. 68) writes:
[SpamSieve] is superior in many ways to what you’ll find in Mail or Entourage.
October 2004 - Macworld (p. 75) says:
One of our favorite add-on spam filters is Michael Tsai’s $25 SpamSieve…a powerful, accurate, and highly configurable statistical filter.
August 2004 - MDJ 2004.08.30:
[SpamSieve is] the easy choice of the vast majority of current and former MDJ staffers, not only due to its tight integration with Mailsmith 2.1 and later, but also because it mostly just works—accurately identifying over 99% of spam messages that slip through to our production system, for example. There are lots of tiny shareware “spam filters” out there, but only SpamSieve won the 2003 Macworld Editor’s Choice Award, and we think there’s a reason for that.
July 2004 - TidBITS#736:
We of course hope that Postini will be equally as accurate as the client-side filters many of us already use; Michael Tsai’s SpamSieve remains about 99.6 percent effective for me…
June 2004 - Degunking Your Mac by Joli Ballew recommends SpamSieve (p. 143).
May 2004 - The Mac Night Owl:
After about a week of use, SpamSieve settled had reached 99.2% correct identifications of spam, and accuracy continued to increase in tiny increments. Yes, there are other applications that promise to accomplish the same result, but SpamSieve is regarded as the most effective solution out there.
May 2004 - Cheryl K. Olson writes in the Wall Street Journal Online:
I am incredibly happy with a product called SpamSieve, which—once “trained” by feeding it examples of good mail and spam—has virtually no false positives or negatives.
April 2004 - My Mac reviews SpamSieve:
If you’re encountering spam problems and you’re at your wits end, I highly recommend that you check out SpamSieve if you have one of the email programs that I’ve listed above. For the price, it’s the best expenditure of money for peace of email that I can think of. My Mac Rating: 5 out of 5.
March 2004 - macCompanion reviews SpamSieve:
Now, are there competitors to SpamSieve? Good heavens, yes! Lots!! But none I’ve seen so far go as far or work as well.… I sure hope Apple auto-installs SpamSieve as an add-on to [Apple Mail] in the next release of Mac OS X.
February 2004 - Macworld names SpamSieve “Software of the Year” (p. 77).
The best way to keep these obnoxious messages at bay is the heroic Michael Tsai’s SpamSieve 2.0.…Unlike other programs, which force you to check a separate program for mismarked mail, you use SpamSieve right inside your everyday e-mail program. Forget spam about reducing body parts, and use SpamSieve to reduce something else: your spam count.
February 2004 - MacOPINION:
SpamSieve is smart. I did have a plentiful supply of good and bad emails for it to sample initially, but literally within a day it was achieving 99% accuracy.
February 2004 - MacAddict reviews Eudora 6.0.1 (p. 49).
With average accuracy in the low 90-percent range, [Eudora] SpamWatch isn’t as good as our preferred third-party spaminator, SpamSieve 2.0.
January 2004 - TidBITS notes an increase in spam volume.
Luckily, Michael Tsai’s SpamSieve is doing a swell job of identifying and extracting the spam from my Eudora mailboxes; it’s currently 99.6 percent correct in identifying spam.
January 2004 - O’Grady’s PowerPage awards SpamSieve 2.1.1 the first O’Grady PowerPick of 2004.
I was pretty happy with Mail.app's Spam filtering until I realize that it is rather stagnant, not dynamically learning about new Spam with use. As spammers get better at defeating Mail's Junk Mail rules, more wound up in my In Box.…SpamSieve is like a light at then end of the Spam tunnel. Installing and training it has reduced my Spam to zero (literally).
January 2004 - Macworld features SpamSieve in its “Shop Smart: Software for Less” article.
January 2004 - Macworld reviews Eudora 6.0 (p. 34).
SpamSieve was a more effective spam blocker than Eudora 6’s built-in filters.
December 2003 - MacInTouch readers choose SpamSieve as a runner-up for best communication product.
It’s awesome, easy to use, catches 99.9% of my spam now with the latest version. Integrates perfectly with Entourage (which is what I use). It has so radically reduced the amount of spam I deal with, it is absolutely a necessity!
December 2003 - Macworld gives SpamSieve an Editors’ Choice Award.
November 2003 - MDJ 2003.11.14 says:
Eudora remains an outstanding mid-range E-mail client…but we’d still pick the US$25 SpamSieve 2.0.2 for junk mail filtering over paying US$50 to avoid ads and use Eudora’s more limited junk mail filtering.
November 2003 - MacAddict reviews Mailsmith 2.0.1.
[Mailsmith] Version 2 brings seamless integration with Apple’s Address Book app, PGP encryption, the excellent SpamSieve junk-mail detector, and SpamCop reporting.
October 2003 - MacAddict writes (p. 38):
One you train it, SpamSieve’s accuracy is fantastic. This accuracy, plus the fact that SpamSieve integrates right into your email program, makes it our preferred filter.
October 2003 - MacUser UK reviews SpamSieve 2:

If the level of spam you receive is high, then SpamSieve is an excellent option. What’s more, at $25, it’s a bargain.
September 2003 - MacCentral writes:
I get a large volume of spam, as my e-mail address is in plain sight for any Web crawler or harvesting out there—upwards of 2,000 or more pieces a day on average, not counting all the recent blowback from SoBig.f and related e-mail server bouncebacks. I’ve been using SpamSieve regularly since earlier this year and find it very, very effective.
September 2003 - Jim Dalrymple compares SpamSieve 2.0 and Apple Mail’s spam filter.
If you receive a lot of emails and are constantly fighting with spam, there is no reason to fight any longer. For a small Shareware fee you can be rid of junk email in your Inbox (mine is 99.2 percent effective) for good.
September 2003 - Other World Computing reviews SpamSieve 2.0:

March 2003 - Your Mac Life interviews SpamSieve’s developer.
March 2003 - MacFixIt recommends SpamSieve.
The first aspect you will appreciate about this product its comprehensiveness and professional execution. More than just a crude hack to implement an open-source offering as a Mac OS X application, SpamSieve includes some of the best documentation we have ever seen in a US $20 shareware product. Not only is there a detailed explanation of how exactly Bayesian filtering works, explanation of the already straightforward features is excellent.
April 2003 - Macworld’s cover story on anti-spam software awards SpamSieve 1.2.2 four mice, higher than all the other products reviewed (p. 64).

November 2002 - MDJ writes:
Nearly 29% of our E-mail is spam, and SpamSieve identifies it correctly 97.7% of the time. […] It’s all handled by AppleScript, so if you want new behavior—playing a sound for spam, automatically moving it to a special mailbox, or logging the senders or recipient addresses—just modify the scripts to your liking in your favorite script editor. […] Thanks to AppleScript and SpamSieve’s support of the top five scriptable E-mail clients, you can use any of these programs and retain your customized spam filtering. Want to move to Entourage from Eudora? Just add SpamSieve’s scripts and go—the thousands of messages you’ve already trained keep working for you in the new client. At first, we thought E-mail clients should build in functionality like SpamSieve, but the more clients it supports, the more flexibility you have.
