You can launch this program from the NetUpdate menu bar icon, or via the menu in Mail or Entourage. Personal Antispam features a number of methods for trapping spam, all of which are configured in the Personal Antispam application. Still, the program did a very good job of reducing the load of junk in my inbox, and it definitely improved with time and additional training. There were more false positives (legitimate messages treated as spam), and more seemingly obvious spam messages that made it through the filters. Marking a large batch of messages as either spam or ham can be time consuming it took a couple minutes to mark a batch of 300 or so.Įven after training, I found that Personal Antispam’s filtering wasn’t quite as good as that of SpamSieve or SpamSweep.
Once a message has been trained as spam, it will be moved into a spam folder, and can then be deleted, either automatically or on a schedule by Personal Antispam. You do the same thing with ham messages, but mark them as good. You do this by selecting a number of spam messages and then using the new Mailbox menu item in Mail (or the Scripts menu in Entourage) to mark them as spam. Basic trainingĪfter installation, Personal Antispam needs to be trained with both spam and non-spam (ham) messages. Once that’s done, its operation is automatic. NetUpdate resides in your menu bar, and to use it, you’ll need to create an account on Intego’s server via NetUpdate’s preferences. Personal Antispam also installs Intego’s NetUpdate, which requires a restart to activate, and which runs in the background, watching for updates to Personal Antispam’s filters.

If you’re using Entourage, there’s some manual setup required, but informational windows appear over the Entourage window that explain what you need to do the procedure, though more complex than the seamless process for Mail, is fairly straightforward. Installation is easy and (if you’re using Mail) automatic, thanks to a setup assistant. Intego’s Personal Antispam X5 10.5.2 is a solid anti-spam program, as long as you’re using Mail ( ) or Entourage ( ) (the program supports both POP and IMAP protocols, but only in those two applications).
