To extend that answer a bit:

I run fetchmail to get my email from various and sundry places to my
local box; I have a ~/.procmailrc to engage SpamAssassin in checking
each mail as fetchmail gets it. I have those marked as spam into a Spam
mbox; I comb it thru once every day or so for titles or senders which
may have been false positives.

It's a happy thing.
