Hi Benny,

It’s one of the things I’ve tried before.

Since I already have a smart mailbox to apply a specific color to these 
messages, for this smart mailbox, I’ve added a condition involving the 
SpamSieve score to the rule that plays the sound. In other words, my rule for 
that smart mailbox is:

If ALL conditions are true:
        SpamSieve-Score does not exist
        To Address is <the address for the account>
Actions:
        Play Sound XXX

I added the other conditions because my address for the account is also a 
catch-all address and therefore also gets spam sent to made-up addresses using 
my domain name (which I own).

But the end result is the same, i.e. the sound still plays even for spam that 
SpamSieve has filed away.

Am I putting the conditions in the wrong place? Should I put them under 
“Conditions for messages displayed” instead? (The distinction is not entirely 
clear to me.)

Or do I need to create a different smart mailbox altogether?

Thanks (and thanks to Henry Seiden too, whose suggestion sounds interesting and 
worth trying if this fails)!

Pierre
