Spamfilter

[Pierce007]

Does anyone use spamfilter?
Im used to have a software connected to mye accounts on Windows to filter most the spam emails I recieve.
What is recommended for Mac?

I've just used online services like GMail, Outlook and let them do the spam filtering for me.

A lot of people with their own mail servers, swear by Spamsieve.

So search for that and see what you find.

We just had a discussion about this here in this forum last week.

You can use the built-in anti-spam feature in Apple's Mail, but many folks report that it isn't effective enough.

You can use the built-in anti-spam features that come with a free e-mail account, such as Gmail, but they are only good for that one account (assuming that you trust Google with your e-mail at all), and they don't offer the training features of a good anti-spam filter.

A close to perfect solution is SpamSieve. It is the best $30 you will ever spend. It's the first thing that I put on every new Mac that I buy. You just install it, spend the next week or two training it, and it becomes wildly accurate, filtering all of your spam in to a Spam folder for you to look at and trash at your leisure.

There are ways and ways to block Spam. For example I use SpamSieve for Apple's Mail app but I prefer to use Spark as my email client. If I run Mail with SpamSieve in the background everything blocked (Marked as Spam) in Mail is also blocked in Spark.
Alternatively Spark has a different method. You can permanently block a sender or block their domain directly from the email. Any further emails from that sender/domain go into a Blocked folder so that they can be unblocked at a later date if you wish to receive emails from that sender or domain again.
