While viruses are still having problems entering the Mac world, spam knows no frontier. As long as you're using an email service, you're going to be targeted by spammers, sooner or later, so finding some software to act as antispam for Mac is a must, and today I will help you by pointing my finger at SpamSweep.

SpamSweep seamlessly combines many filtering technologies, including domain and relay blacklists, sender whitelisting, and a bayesian filter to automatically delete spam messages before they're downloaded by your email client."
The main features of the program, as described by Bains Software, its producers, are these:
- Extremely high accuracy.
- Filters quietly in the background.
- Works with most major email clients.
