Answering myself here, but I've now got incoming spamchecking running on
several accounts with help from:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0104033/stories/2002/04/15/freeSpamFilteringForMacosX.
html
plus some fetchmail help from
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/ref-
guide/s1-email-fetchmail.html
to get multiple account checking

Hey, this Unix core stuff is *fun*

Cheers
Martin
