You can do it locally. Just install SA, and call spamassassin (or spamc if you choose to run spamd) from your .procmailrc. The SA distribution has a sample set of procmail recipes.

Back when I had an earthlink account, I picked up my mail with fetchmail, which used procmail to put it in my mailbox. I punted anything that scored 9 or more, put the rest of the spam in a "caughtspam" box for review, and the rest went to my mailbox.
