Harm,

Sorry, I don't know of anything like that, but there are two other
possibilities you might look into:

   * See
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/FightingSpam#Killing_Spam_before_Downloading
for a description of what dds is doing -- they installed procmail, gave
each user his own .procmailrc and made a web interface to create
procmail recipes in an "outlook" style.  "giving them the possibility of
filtering email on the serverside themselves did make a difference!  It
gave them a feeling we are fighting spam, and that THEY are also in
control!"

   * There is a kde product, called kshowmail -- "KShowmail is a KDE
utility to show headers or the complete mails on pop3 servers without
transfering them to the local mail client. Unpleasant mails can be
deleted on the server.  The information can be refreshed via timers."

hope this helps,
