Damned Spammers Episode VII, or 1992 Dos-Box-D00d Suddenly Thrown Forward 10 Years

ADVICE WANTED!

My ISP was bought out by Airmail.net a while back.
They say they're going to be phasing out Shell accounts (whaa), and want everybody to switch to their web-based email.
Well, I may be looking for another ISP, but still I'd rather like to keep my neosoft email addresses since I've been using it since 1994.
Thing is, I've been using procmail to filter out spam. It's 3ll|+3!
I ask the guy who passes for "tech support" about programs or clients with similar capacities-- filters things out according to my specifications as soon as the messages arrive, without them taking up space on their machine or me having to download everything to mine. He claimed there's no such thing.
That's such a damned usefull function that I have trouble believing noone has created something equivilent for this ultra-futuristic web based email.
So, reccomendations?

P.S.: I see I recieved Nigerian Money Scam emails from someone calling themselves "Dr. Banjo Peters". IHNJH, I just like the name "Dr. Banjo Peters".

computers, email, spam
