I too am using SpamAssassin (and Anomy Sanitizer for viruses) with
Postfix and Maildrop. I have some modifications to Maildrop which
enables messages to be placed in a mailbox, such as the Inbox, tagged
for deletion. Then with any IMAP client, including a Web-mail IMAP
client, this is an easy way of seeing suspected spam, mailing list
messages which have already been copied to their own mailbox etc. in the
Inbox, as they arrive, but with an easy way of getting rid of them,
without manually selecting them for deletion:

I use the "tagged for deletion" thing for mailing list messages.
Suspected spam and anything detected by Anomy Sanitizer as having a
Windows executable as an attachment gets put into the spam pit or virus
pit, and is not sent to the Inbox at all.
This is only for myself. I hand-craft the mailfilter file in a text
editor / occasionally making syntax mistakes such as a blank line with
lack of a \ continuation, which really screws things up. I am *very*
happy with the results.
One thing I want to do is sort spam, as flagged by SpamAssassin, into
two mailboxes. One would be for the high-scoring spam and another for
the stuff which is close to my threshold. Then, to search for false
positives, I will only have to trawl through a subset of the flagged
messages.
