Write it yourself, then, or pay someone else to. I don't think this is
really appropriate -- if you already have the machine to run the Perl
script on, you can also use it for local fetch and delivery. Also,
SpamAssassin is not perfect -- some mail you want will get tagged as
spam, others you don't want will get through (false positives and
negatives). This is just a bad design all the way around, because under
this scheme, false positives get deleted, which you certainly don't
want. Build a local machine, use fetchmail, have your local clients pick
up their mail that way. It's not that hard, especially if you already
have a working box.
