I don't know of anything that does this exactly.  You can use
fetchmail+spamassassin to retrieve and filter the messages, but I don't
think you'll be able to move the messages to a different folder on the
server without writing some code.

Or, you could use mozilla-mail or thunderbird, which includes a Bayesian
spam filter, and can store messages to a spam folder on the server.
That would be awfully resource heavy for a biff-like program, but it
would work without having to write any code.
