You don't need to run a mailserver to do something similar. I simply told my ISP (Zen) not to filter spam out of my mail. They send it unfiltered* to me and my MUA filters it out using bogofilter. Works very well for me; I suppose you do have to have a 'sensible' ISP. * they do actually filter some extreme stuff out that I believe is required by law or somesuch. I never see it, so I don't know exactly what it is.
