Spam Filter Options

Even though Mac OS X Mail provides spam and junk mail filters, I still get way too much slimeball stuff in my inbox. If this sounds familiar, check into some of the third-party spam filtering software applications that you can download. Search online for something like "Mac OS X spam filter." Make sure the ones you consider are for use with Mac OS X.

Many of these spam filter applications are excellent, but the one that has made digital-life worth living for me is SpamSieve. Very few junk mails end up in my inbox, even though I get two or three thousand a day. Instead, they all get sent to a special "Spam" folder that gets emptied in the trash every day.

SpamSieve integrates with the Mac Address Book, so messages from contacts in your Address Book are never accidentally marked as spam. To learn more, visit C-Command.com/spamsieve.
