You really need to R.M <grin> there is much about this topic ...

I run 3 accounts (not) called

amspam
amnot
maybe

All spam that is received is *bounced* to amspam

Everything tagged as spam gets sent to maybe
Not Spam in maybe gets bounced to amnot

cron.daily runs a 'bayesian' task to learn amspam and amnot
Bouncing is different for each mail client. See
