Andrew Dalke contributed a program to the SpamBayes wiki that does
exactly this:
http://www.entrian.com/sbwiki/SpamBayesCuller
http://www.entrian.com/sbwiki/RecentChangesOfSpamBayesCuller
"This program, sb_culler, uses SpamBayes to run a POP3 email culler. It
connects to my email servers every few minutes, downloads the emails,
classifies each one, and deletes the spam and viruses. (It makes a
local copy of the spam, just in case.)"
You'll need to download and install the SpamBayes source code as well,
from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61702&package_id=58141
Take either the .tgz or the .zip, not the .exe (which installs a binary
application rather than the source).
