Yea, I gotten SpamAssasin running on the imap account, but I find  
it ... lacking. It misses a lot of spam, which I still have to manually  
move - this is why I wanted to use the spamprobe installation I have  
locally. Bayesian filtering *rocks*, and with a humongous spam database  
I filter nearly 95% of my POP spam... but I still have to download it.

You and Pawel are both obviously right, though: having a local filter  
access every server-side mail body to apply filtering is _ugly_, and  
should probably not be done. Oh well...
