If you want an external filter, there is support for procmail. And as 
you can define the commandline for this, I think it should be possible 
to pipe mails into any program.
The option can be set in the mailbox-acount properties for each mailbox 
seperately.
Not sure if it will solve your problem. When I had a POP3-box I 
successfully used procmail + spamassassin locally with balsa.
