With my current config, there are only 3 places it puts an incoming mail.  
If SA goes off, it goes on thru to my /var/spool/mail/gene mailfile.
If its from a niece, that goes to a separate mailfile.  If its a clamav 
detected viri it gets put in a third viri file.

All other sorting is done by kmail itself as it gets a dbus signal to go 
and get any newly arrived mail in my mailfile or in the nieces mailfile.
Thats also owned by me, and kmail sorts that to a maildir holding her 
messages.

Some specific recipes also send crap to /dev/null.  Might be 100 of those.

And this is a currently well supported filtering MTA that can do what 
procmail is doing now?  I'll go look at it, thanks.
