Spamsieve is een applicatie voor Mac OS X waarmee het mogelijk is de spam uit e-mailberichten te filteren. Het maakt gebruik van Bayesian-filtertechnieken en integreert zich probleemloos met verschillende e-mailprogramma's zoals Apple Mail, Emailer, Entourage, Eudora, Gyazmail, Mailsmith, Powermail en Mozilla Thunderbird. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 2.6.6 de deur uitgedaan waarmee onder andere Mac OS X 10.5 beter wordt ondersteund en een Nederlandse vertaling wordt toegevoegd. De lijst met aanpassingen sinds de vorige vermelding in de Meuktracker ziet er als volgt uit:
