Here, I'll "draw" it out:

ISP (where mail sits)
 |
FETCHMAIL (grabs the mail from the ISP)
 |
PROCMAIL (filters incoming mail through rules for spam)
 |
ANTIVIRUS (whatever AV you use, scans the mail)
 |
(POSTFIX/SENDMAIL) (mail gets tossed here and in user's mbox)

Each client machine can access the mail from the mail machine using
either POP3 or IMAP - if they use IMAP, then the mail always lives on
the mail machine (nice space saver)

When the end-user sends an email, it goes back to the mail machine,
processed, av-scanned, then sent out (whenever it is setup to connect to
the internet or a remote SMTP server)

Simple.
Easy as pulling a greased string outta cat's ass.
