I also have SpamAssassin on the server. Procmail drops everything over a 
certain score. Messages with a not-quite-that-high score go into a 
“Probably” folder for manual examination. Any spam that gets 
through, no matter which folder it ends up in, I move to my Junk folder.

SpamAssassin trains every night based on Junk, Inbox, and Trash. The 
last two are used as examples of ham, which is also important. Junk is 
emptied after training.

Almost nothing client side, in other words, although MailMate makes the 
one and only manual step (Move to Junk) very easy.
