I would say that the main difference is that SpamSieve learns what you
consider spam over time, based on your input. The Entourage Spam Filter will
always flag a given message as spam or not, no matter what your preference.
SpamSieve is not as effective in the beginning, but as you tell it "this
email is spam" or that email is not spam", it gets better and better at
blocking out the spam.  The especially nice part is that some emails that
you consider spam, others wouldn't and vice-versa.  SpamSeive can handle
this by user and I don't think Entourage Spam Filter can handle this at all.

While I'm not certain, I suspect that the Entourage Spam Filter is a
collection of sophisticated rules to figure out what is or isn't spam, but
the rules never change.

Hope this is helpful. If not, feel free to email me off or on list if you
want more information.
