I've been using #Outlook for a number of years (I’m exclusively Apple, but my university uses #Office365 / #Exchange). Decided to try going back to #Apple #Mail also using #Spamsieve ( @spamsieve ). After a few days, it seems so much better not to have to wrestle with the @MS behemoth and to have seemingly more granular control of things.

Fingers crosses that this may stick.

Okay, with two decades of use from the initial purchase, I'd say @spamsieve was a pretty good deal. The new 3.0 update is an insta-buy.

#SpamSieve #MacOS

I gave up on Apple’s #Mail app for #macOS several years ago and I am a very happy #MailMate user, with built-in support for @mjtsai’s #SpamSieve and with a built-in feature for filing mail away with the keyboard that works just as well for me as #MsgFiler (which I had) did in Mail.

However, #Mail is still used and will continue to be used by several people I support, and I have set them up with SpamSieve, so I will have to monitor the situation closely. https://mastodon.social/@mjtsai/110544002523032547

TIL that the “greylisting” on my hosted mail servers is effectively just as bad as blacklisting because, while it might be temporary, if nothing changes anywhere, it keeps happening again, and again, and again.

So I’m turning it off right now to use client-side spam filtering EXCLUSIVELY. I’d rather teach my users how to use @mjtsai’s #SpamSieve properly than depend on servers doing what servers tend to do, i.e. find problems where there are none.
