![]() ![]() Maybe I’m not typical but I see new types of spam all the time I think my email address ended up on some kind of “known good” list. Mac syncing, since my desktop is always going to be much more up to date on the latest spam than my laptop, which can go a couple of weeks between uses. It would be a bummer if this messed up SpamSieve’s filtering. I try to remember to exit Mail.app on my desktop before I leave the house, but sometimes it doesn’t happen. I use my desktop system most of the time, but my laptop when I am out and about. SpamSieve is one of the best applications I have ever used, and the ability to transparently use it across multiple macs would be a great addition for me.įWIW, I came here looking for the same thing. Or perhaps you could somehow utilize Apple SyncServices? Humm… maybe a better scenario would not have a shared folder but each SpamSieve instance would just look at the other system(s)'s changes and roll them into it’s own. ![]() One way around this might be for there to be three folders: A shared folder which all SpamSieve instances read from, a dedicated folder which each SpamSieve writes changes to, and a process running on each Mac that periodically rolls its changes into the shared folder, using some type of logic that spaced the updates far enough apart to eliminate iDisk conflicts. However if both Macs updated the files at approximately the same time, one of the Macs might report an iDisk file conflict. (But what if I didn’t? Would it be ok then?)ĭoes SpamSieve perform any sort of file locking that would prevent one Mac from clobbering the files of the other? I can envision how so long as I wasn’t running SpamSieve on both Macs simultaneously and that if enough time had elapsed to allow the iDisk updates to be applied that it would probably work fine. Entourage/SpamSieve would be different, as I might leave the house with Entourage/SpamSieve still running on my desktop. Instead of linking ~/Library/Application Support/SpamSieve to an iPod, how about linking it to an iDisk? I’m doing this for an application called GarageSale and it’s working fine only I am never running GarageSale on both computers simultaneously. Using Exchange now eliminates the need for me to copy the Entourage database back and forth so I would like SpamSieve to be automatic as well. My reason for wanting to share the SpamSieve lists with my desktop and laptop Macs are for the times when I mark a message as being good, mark a domain as being safe, or reload addresses into SpamSieve. I’ve been using SpamSieve for a long time now so I am confident in it’s accuracy. It’s not a problem for more than one Entourage client to be accessing the Exchange server simultaneously. I need to do this for Entourage with Exchange. That’s why I recommend only running one SpamSieve on an account at a time. To get around this problem, you could turn off auto-training, though that would also reduce the accuracy somewhat. If you train the wrong copy of SpamSieve, the other one will think it was correct, learn from that, and its accuracy will decline. The problem is that if a message is put into the wrong folder, you won’t know which one to correct. I would, however, caution you not to run two copies of SpamSieve on the same IMAP account at the same time. ![]() But, in general, I don’t think that’s necessary the accuracy should be about the same with two separate copies of SpamSieve. If you want to use the same data on both machines, you could alias the ~/Library/Application Support/SpamSieve folder to your iPod and bring it with you. merge) the corpus and rules from different copies of SpamSieve. There is no good way to synchronize (i.e. Sure - if it’s just me that would want this I can understand that it’s not worth the effort of development, but I can’t imagine that I am.Īfter only using SpamSieve for a few days though, I am most impressed with it’s results - so much cleaner and more accurate than the default Mail.app Junk filter. The added bonus would be my Corpus would be backed up to my sync service incase of machine failure. I would dearly love to be able to sync the Corpora between both machines and not have to dig around in the Library. This is my primary reason for looking at SpamSieve as I can copy the Corpus from my desktop to my laptop and have a fairly mature Junk filter ready to go. When I need to use my Laptop, when I’m generally away from home, I would like to not have clear out my Inbox and to train my Junk filter all over again. Needless to say the maturity of the my Desktops Mail.app Junk filter is leagues above that of my Laptop. I have my desktop which I use 75% of the time and my Laptop which is used 25%. One of the main reasons I am evaluating SpamSieve is that I have a problem with Mail.app and it’s Junk filtering over two computers. Is there a particular reason that you want the two corpora synchronized? ![]()
