Actually, even if you are using POP you can still use Procmail with 
SpamAssassin. You just need something like Fetchmail to move the mail from 
your remote server to your local one. (But this shell command method 
inside of Evo is very clever, and one I hadn't seen before ;-)

Also, if you do use SpamAssassin, you should also probably use Vipul's 
Razor (http://razor.sourceforge.net/) as these two work great together and 
can really block tons of spam.
