Why does SpamSieve let these obvious spams into my inbox?

0

SpamSieve does what you tell it to do. Under the standard configuration, the Use Mac OS X Address Book option is enabled in SpamSieve’s preferences. This is safety feature so that messages from people in your address book are never marked as spam. If your address is in the address book and a spammer sends a message from that address, SpamSieve will let it through to your inbox. It will do this no matter how blatantly spammy the message is; doing otherwise would counteract the safety feature.
