My praise is mostly down to it meeting all the required
standards (and still working, unlike OE), only Mutt also seems
to do that, and only then if you throw various bits of PERL at
it to extend it.

The main downside so far is that it is very resource hungry, and
I suspect some lurking bugs.

Filtering such as Spam Assassin is better done before the mail
client IMHO, as it will make it easier to switch clients.

Indeed rumour has it Theo uses procmail to filter his mailing
lists out, my mailing lists are still filtered in the client,
but I'll get there eventually.

I assume Spam Assassin can be trivially invoked from '.filter',
if you don't want to build it into Postfix.

Here for TMDA I have;

$ cat .forward
"| /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/tmda-0.65/bin/tmda-filter"

Which consumes the vast majority of my spam, currently only
letting in spam mimicing mail bounces, alledgely coming from
people I know, or from spammers who whitelist themselves (1 so far).
