some allready existing way is i.e
with milter and postfix tagged spam get in hold queue for i.e human
admin investigate, or some quarantaine with amavis
for sure there are benefits getting dovecot involved in spam tagging
but i would leave spam tagging to the mailserver in first way and
deliver it to Junk folder by global sieve rule with giving more quota or
ignoring  Quota to Junk folder, but i see this isnt the same what you
might wanna goal
