Of course, this filtering should be called in a background thread so as not to 
hang the UI. Hopefully the change has been accomplished.

I use fetchmail and exim to get and store mail. Kmail simple gets it from the 
user's /var/mail folder. Spamd is run through procmail--webmin will set this 
up for you very simply. Virus checking can be added to the promailrc as well 
using any number of simple packages, usually perl scripts or such, to take 
care of clamd as well.
