I don't have personal experience doing this type of thing but
from reading lots of discussion groups, it seems that a lot of
people have success with the following, which is a variation of
your flowchart:

       ISP
        |
        Fetchmail
        |
        Procmail
        |
        Spamassassin
        |
>>>     Use Procmail to deliver to mailboxes on an IMAP server
        |
        Clients
             Mozilla on Linux

             Netscape on Windows


If you are delivering to multiple users, you need to make sure
that the ISP includes the envelope information in each message.
For lots more about the envelope, including relevant fetchmail
links, check out this section of my Procmail Quick Start:

Good luck,
