Use fetchmail ==> procmail+spamassassin ==> RMAIL, gnus or what you want

fetchmail get the mails from your server and give the mails to procmail;

procmail use spamassassin to filter the mails and put the mails in your
mail-source directory.

RMAIL or gnus or anything else read the mails from mail-source directory.
