Another unique aspect is that each rule may be given a score from 0 to 100 to determine how strictly it is applied. Matterform media has been making Mac applications since 1994. A server side application is under development, possibly available in January, followed by a server service. Spamfire works with an POP3 email account and any email client. It costs just $29.
