My preference is to have procmail do all the filtering on the server.  (There 
is a bug that I've never been able to track down, which means that there is 
one filter that simply doesn't work.  For that I use a kmail filter to move 
the message from Inbox to the correct folder.)  I don't filter for viruses, as 
I have no windows machines on my LAN, though I'm toying with the idea of 
installing amavis to do just that.  I include a script in the procmail recipes 
to put most messages through bogofilter - if you decide to go with procmail 
I'll give you the recipe for that.  Just ask.  And I simply copied my 
bogofilter corpus onto the server, so it set off knowing as much as my local 
copy had known.
