It was my laptop, running this other instance of my spam filtering software that was moving messages around on the email server and hence on my desktop client. And because I’m using IMAP4, this change was sent to the server and then to the email client running on the desktop. The copy of SpamSieve on that computer decided some of them were spam and would move them to the spam folder.
Messages would come into Google and, in some cases, my laptop would grab them.

So here’s what was happening: My MacBook Pro had been on and running it’s own instances of Mail and SpamSieve. Because I have three different email clients (if you count the iPhone) I use IMAP4 instead of POP3 to communicate between those clients and the Google server and keep things in sync. Yes, I use their spam filtering, too - it’s much better than SpamSieve - but that wasn’t it. I use Google as my inbound and outbound email server. I even caught the nasty gremlin in the act. (Any of you email geeks starting to get a clue here?)įor a totally separate reason I pulled out my MacBook Pro, and that’s when it hit me. With absolutely no spam filtering turned on, stuff was still being flagged and moved. Next, all the usual steps: rebooting, re-initializing this and that. So then I shut it down altogether: Whoa! I was *still* getting messages sent to the spam folder. But recently I’ve been noticing that the spam detection has been hyperactive: way too any false positives. I use OS X’s Mail app along with SpamSieve for spam filtering.
What's more, with the help of SpamSieve's whitelist feature, you can make sure that all contacts that you add within it will have their e-mails sent straight into your e-mail inbox, effectively skipping the spam filter validation.Īdditionally, if you need to know if SpamSieve works with your e-mail client before downloading it to your Mac, a detailed list of all supported e-mail clients is available on the Requirements page of SpamSieve's online Manual.So I’ve been having this realy strange problem. Bundled whitelist for making sure that all your important e-mails go straight to your inbox This way, you can focus more on getting work done and worry less about getting rid of pointless and time-consuming spam mail reading.
