![]() ![]() SpamSieve only marks spam in your email client so you never lose any mail. SpamSieve understands what your spam looks like in order to block it all, but also learns what your legitimate messages look like to avoid confusion. Or maybe, if all else fails, should I reset everything and start again? I would prefer not to as my blocklist and whitelist are years old.SpamSieve is a robust spam filter for major email clients that uses powerful Bayesian spam filtering. Should I just wait a while, as I’m not drowning in spam at this point? There is nothing amiss, as far as I can tell. I checked everything as instructed on the help page “Why is SpamSieve not catching my spam?”. I tried to create a blocklist item with the part of the name that does repeat, but it didn’t seem to work. I thought that was why they weren’t caught but looking through the log it seems such messages, with changing names and addresses, are usually caught by other means, probable the Corpus.įrom August 1st to 12, I count 65 items “Predicted: Spam” and 29 “Predicted: Good”. Four spams are from the obviously same spammer, each with a different “from” address and a different “from” name. There are no “Predicted: Good” or “Predicted: Spam” messages at all. I looked at the log and all the entries since August 13 (when I started fiddling with SS) are “Trained: Spam (Manual)”. And now no spams are recognized as spam by SpamSieve. Perhaps this is a clue for you Michael, should you want to pursue it.įYI, I haven’t this sort of this in the small amount of time I’ve been testing with Big Sur beta and the a version of SpamSieve. What’s strange is that the filtering seemed to work fine with Mail open for a time, then suddenly over a day or two this crept in, finally resulting in NO further filtering. So I guess your point about some weird interaction being in effect with Catalina updates (10.15.6) is well taken. Anyway, the spam previously there (inbox messages) were automatically filtered. Shouldn’t this be automatic when Mail closes (that it turns off SpamSieve and starts itself) after Mail reopens? I’ve never gotten a warming like this before that I remember. Then I got the strange popup (after Mail closed and was manually re-opened), that SpamSieve’s reaction had been to turn its filtering on again. When I looked at my Mail (whether on Mac or another source, since on my Mac Mail was previously open it’s the same), that indeed it was the case and SpmaSieve recognized it, that none of the messages were being filtered. It took a while to observe, but I see what domellen and you are talking about. Some people find that this resets something in Mail that makes it launch faster, which seems to be related to it not applying the rules. It might help to go to Manage Plug-ins… in Mail’s preferences and disable the SpamSieve plug-in, then restart Mail and enable it again. Regardless, I do not hit Apply Inbox Rules…Just my 2¢. That’s why SpamSieve is and has been so useful for us. Spammers (considering Adobe to be likewise, a purveyor of unwanted email) continually try to get to the inbox as you may well know. Working on training to overcome… My conclusion though is that SpamSieve is working correctly. I do have Adobe listed in my contacts but only as, not the email marketing accounts. Biggest offender for me is Adobe which seems to use multiple email account for unwanted marketing purposes. Like you, I have noticed that some junk does reappear in my inbox, but training it usually takes care of the issue for me. I am not compelled to move Mail into log-in items because it means that it will start at will when starting up the OS. I only have two items in my Login Items (CCC User Agent, Dropbox), neither appear relevant to this. Have noticed the issue slow startup of Mail and like you, my app is NOT in the log-in Items (but is always left running so I wouldn’t have noticed it as much, just tried in comparison now). I am running MacOS 10.15.6 and release version of Mail, SpamSieve 2.9.39… I think I’ll just stick with launching it manually after everything else and all is stabilized. I suppose I have the choice of launching Mail manually or having it launch at Startup and then using Apply Inbox Rules. The problem is not with SpamSieve but certainly with the Mac or with Mail (no surprise there, there are lots of little things that go wrong regularly with Mail). SpamSieve log: one predicted spam matched from the blocklist.Manual launch of Mail which launches faster than when it is in Startup Items.SpamSieve is in Startup Items, but not Mail.The obvious spam is sent to the Spam folder.SpamSieve log: just the first two lines:.One obvious spam is in the Inbox, not read, not colored. ![]() Mail is in Startup Items and launches, very slowly, as usual (about a minute or more).Here’s the result of my tests two days in a row when turning on the Mac in the morning:
