I'm using PopFile (<http://popfile.sourceforge.net>), a Bayesian filter, which is open source/free, and accuracy on my system is currently 99.22%. With its Unix background, it's probably not quite as straightforward to install as the commercial OS X alternatives (if anyone's interested I can direct you to a simple installation guide), but I'm really pleased with it. Since I'm still on a dial-up link, I'm also using Mailfilter, which is more or less an open source equivalent of POPMonitor, to delete the big spams before they leave the server. (Basic rule: anything over 20k from someone I don't know gets stomped.) While I'm sure programs like SpamSieve are excellent, it's good to know that OS X has opened up access to alternatives. TimH
