Have a look at the procmail-lib package.

Ahh! What happens if you don't have it, considering in
.muttrc:
set mbox_type=Maildir
and/or in
.procmailrc:
:0 # note - not :0: - no need for locking on maildir
* ^Resent-Sender.*debian-user-request@lists.debian.org
IN-debian-user/ # and note '/' after directory
# for maildir
or does
dc_localdelivery='maildir_home'
allow for no .procmailrc?

Ummm ... spamassassin AND fetchmail?
Is not spamassassin only useful if you are operating a smarthost, which
if you are using fetchmail you won't be?
