SpamAssassin has no quarantine capability in and of itself.  You have
to ask the smtp-vilter people how their milter works.

For non-open source, you can check out RAE Internet's MPP at
http://www.raeinternet.com/mpp and preview the Webmin module complete w/
spamd and virus quarantine...

SA has no quarantine support. AFAIK, neither does smtp-vilter. However, I 
think that clamav has some built-in quarantine support that ends up being 
used with smtp-vilter, but that's virus only.

If you want to start quarantining spam, you're probably going to have to 
shift to a different tool. However, as Theo said, ask the smtp-vilter folks 
if they have a quarantine ability.

Generally I find that MTA integration tools, at their best, really only 
implement one of the following well: Quarantines or Rejection. Which they 
are good at tends to depend on when they are called relative to the 
completion of SMTP delivery.

Most delivery-time tools, such as milters, are good at rejection, but are 
not so good with quarantines.

Most post-delivery tools, such as MailScanner and amavisd-new, are good at 
quarantines, but not so good at rejection (They wind up bouncing with a 
DSN, not rejecting)
