Hi.
TL/DR version:
Is it advisable to invoke an spam checker from the sieve script, and then, once the message is filtered, decide if should be moved to a certain spam folder?
why not use i.e spamass milter with postfix to flag, and then use sieve global rule to sort in Users Imap Junk Folder, to download SPAM Mails in imap Junk folder via pop3 to , use dovecot virtual plugin

sorry german only but configs should speak for its own
A bit more context on why I'm considering this:
I'm just a geek who wants to handle his own mail, but not a great experience as a system administrator. I don't have any corporate setup, just a simple VPS with me as the only user.
Previously I fetched all my mail through POP, and in the client of my PC I moved (lots of) mailing list traffic to its folders. Then, for those remaining messages (and only those remaining) I passed the spam filter and moved to spam folder. That's a significant saving since I have many mailing list subscriptions, and now I'm even using rss2email, so I have lots of email that is not spam.
I moved to IMAP and my filters are server side with sieve, but I don't have spam filtering yet. I thought I could replicate the setup easily, but it seems nobody is doing that, and everyone has the mail already scored when it reaches sieve. Seems like the "extprograms" extension would be a fit, but again, nobody seems to mention on documentation, so I'm fearing I'm probably wrong.
Suggestions?
i dont get what your problem is exactly but looks like you wanna pre sort mail about other stuff ( i.e. sender ) and doing spam sort at last, should be no problem with a sieve user rule if spam score is allready in the mail ( flagged by spamassassin before) etc
Thank you very much!
i wouldnt use extprograms for spam scanning, i see no need for it
