I'm looking to do something similar, right now I'm using SAproxy for
windows, is there a way to setup Spam Assassin on my linux box to proxy my
mail checks like SAproxy does? As I'd like to have a little more control of
what happens and integrate a few other things such as Vipul Razor etc... 

Thanks
John

Andrew,

I noticed 3 people suggesting fetchmail feeding into 3 different MTAs
all passing to procmail.  I just wanted to suggest skipping the MTA. 
Fetchmail can hand off directly to procmail, which (to my knowledge)
does not need to be integrated into an MTA at all. 

This may or may not save you a bit of a headache.
