Yes.

        OOOOHHHH, you wanted to know what the answer is, too? Why dincha
say that? {^_-}

I run fetchmail, per user for the dozen or so email accounts and two
chunks of meat. Fetchmail feeds procmail directly. Procmail feeds the
mail spool directly. Dovecot drags things out of the mail spool and
presents them to the user via POP3S or IMAPS.

Procmail has my /dev/null handling for certain particular pests such as
anybody who uses challenge/response spamming that they think is anti-
spamming. It also calls up spamassassin with lots of SARE rules and
runs the FuzzyOCR and clam-assassin plugins.

It's a traditional 'ix lashup, lots of programs that specialize in one
sort of data handling passing the data along to each other.
