I get a lot of spam.... I have a lot of email addresses "out there".

I was using Apple's Mail client spam filter for a while, but it wasn't quite working for me. Then, I've been using SpamSieve - which I was happy with at first... but it comes down to the same problem...

I have to filter through my SPAM box and make sure no false-positives got through. And that's a lot of time to deal with the thousands of spam messages I get.

Here's my ideal solution, however... and I don't know if it exists.

Intelligent filtering... just like Mail or SpamSieve... keep good emails, but instead of sending "spam" emails into a box I have to sift through... send spam messages an authentication reply... the way SpamArrest does. That way, even if a legitimate email gets spam-filtered, then the sender gets a reply saying that I didn't get the email unless they click on a link.

Anyone know if this is available?

The problem with SpamArrest in its current form is that I don't want _everyone_ that sends me an email to have to do the SpamArrest filtering thing.
