Lowend Mac's Steve Watkins on SpamSieve:
Can Your Spam with SpamSieve http://lowendmac.com/practical/07/0202.html
"Right out of the box, SpamSieve exceeded the accuracy of the Apple Mail filter I've been training for over a year."
...
"For seven straight days now, there have been zero false positives. Zero out of over 2,800 messages. As an added bonus, the number of false negatives has decreased to fewer than 10 on a typical day, a number I can happily live with."
...
"f you're willing to devote just a short time each day for a few weeks to SpamSieve's training, I predict you will see astounding accuracy. How much time and frustration would you save each day if you no longer had to concern yourself with spam? This just may the best $30 I ever spent"

MacWorld's Christopher Breen for the June 2007 issue:
"C-Command's SpamSieve 2.6.1 is the gold standard of spam utilities, by which other utilities should be judged. It earns this high regard for a variety of reasons, not least of which are its accuracy and ease of use."
