SpamAssassin works fine for me. Some other ideas are linked at

You don't need SMTP to retrieve the mail. Once you have retrieved the mail
with fetchmail, kmail can just point to that mailbox.

For your other system, you could use POP3 (like vm-pop3d) or IMAP for the
mail retrieval agent. (On some of my systems, I just use VNC so the remote
user can run the mail client on the server itself.)
