Human admin is not a good idea if you have 50000 users :-) Quarantine's a possibility, but that's taking it out of "Mail" and adds complexity.
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
That's just what we want to do, *but* although it's in the Wiki I don't think it a good idea to *raise* the limit for the junk folder if you *deliver* to it. It's somewhat ok if you move mail there and someone picks it up (we do that with a different folder). But on delivery it means at some point you can receive spam but no real messages. Not nice.
"ignore" may work if it does what I think (never even count bytes and messages in this folder) but it is open to abuse ...
