I bit the bullet a few years ago and installed an IMAP4 server --
initially Dovecot, but quickly replaced by dbmail.  This allows you to
use a sieve script, instead of procmail "recipes".  Moreover, each user
maintains his/her own sieve script.

So, my mail path is now:
  1) fetchmail, from my ISP's POP3 server;
  2) postfix, including spam and virus scanning with amavisd-new;
  3) dbmail, for local IMAP4 delivery.

I am proud to say it is the best "home brew" mail system I have ever
seen.
