That is my understanding as well. I have been running spamassassin as a filter in an older version of evolution for the past couple of years. The bayesian filter catches all but a handful of spam that is sent to my accounts. You will need to mark enough items as junk (about 200 I think) to get the bayesian filter to start tagging spam. The big benefit of this is that it learns what you think is spam not someone else's idea. It just takes enough samples to make it work as expected.
I'm just getting to that point now, I think. I was just trashing stuff before. Now I'm marking it. It's starting to work better. I just need to get SOMETHING working with fetchmail. Because when I'm away from home I ssh into my home box and check email with fetchmail + pine.
I'm using fetchmail + pine and then evolution. Sendmail is somewhere in there as it comes with CentOS. Not sure where to implement the greylisting, though. I'll have to look that up.
As I expected, in your setup you won't be able to setup greylisting. Your ISP would have to set it up on their MTA. Your best option is to get bayes trained and possibly add a few selected rule sets to spamassassin from the rules emporium as mentioned before.
What about putting spamassassin in between fetchmail and the delivery? I think I've done that before. I just can't remember how.
