I would imagine the setup would much like it is for setting up a spam
filter to guard a regular address. In this case, you might do something
different with the "SPAM" mail, such as forward it a human for review,
or just set the threshold very high. For messages that score very highly
as spam, you could delete them directly.

In general, I would procede with installing a spam prevention tool as if
you were using with it with a regular e-mail account. I use SpamAssassin
for my personal mail and am extremely happy with it. Before that I used
TMDA which I found more cumbersome while still letting some spam
through, when spammers respond to the confirmation message.
