I have only 2 or 3 virtual users here, but procmail seems to handle that 
chore with alacrity.

By using procmail for fetchmail's MTA, it is procmail that runs the 
incoming mail thru the clamav and spamassassin filters, then there isn't 
a huge practical limit, certainly well into the hundreds, perhaps 
thousands of virtual email accounts that it can deliver the individual 
mail to in /var/spool/mail.  File locking considerations need to be 
addressed of course but thats a solvable problem.
