You like Macs...you don't like spam...

TAGS: Applications

...you need SpamSieve. From time to time I recommend excellent software, usually for the Mac (like Handbrake...but speaking of playing around with MPEG, if you're on Windows you should use VCDgear. It's a fantastic way to shrink DVDs to SVCDs, among other things. And it's open source).

Back to SpamSieve. I've been using it for several years now, and have found nothing better to trim spam from my inbox. Consider: I have several public email addresses (Alfresco, OSBC, others....) and so I get spam from every person in Russia, as near as I can tell. Thousands of spam messages each week. I see maybe 2-3 in my inbox, and almost no false positives. Maybe 1 per week.

Try it out. Or tell me if you think there is a better alternative out there.
