  • SpamSieve now works with Mozilla Thunderbird.
  • Improved detection of image spams and phishing messages.
  • Made various message analysis improvements to increase the accuracy of the Bayesian filter.
  • AppleScripting the whitelist and blocklist is much more efficient for scripts that access a lot of rules.
  • Improved compatibility with pre-release versions of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
  • The Software Update checker now works behind an HTTP proxy, and the auto-updater is now compatible with FileVault.

SpamSieve is a powerful spam filtering program that uses Bayesian spam filtering. It supports Apple Mail, Emailer, Entourage, Eudora, Mailsmith, Outlook Express, PowerMail, and Thunderbird.
