This is a follow up on my experience with SpamSieve installed as a part of MailSmith from Bare Bones Software:

First off, let me say that Mailsmith is truly a wonderful email client. It fits my needs perfectly, and fits my style or reading, writing and archiving email.

SpamSieve is truly an outstanding addition to MailSmith. After a week of use, it had learned how to handle spam for me quite well. After a month, I’m nothing short of stupified at how well it does its job.

Notice how it has gotten progressively better at detecting what I consider spam? SpamSieve plus MailSmith is an amazing combination!
