that's a working way, put some spam protection in your mta, add a "Junk"
status (inactive status), then:

- have a cron that find junk tickets, extract original email and submit
  it at you spam protection learning. You should also find some non-junk
  tickets to learn your spam protection with good emails
- once processed, shred those tickets


here is an example of a script I made for spamassassin.
