Unless you are experimenting..
No, I'm not trying to build a proper mail-server.
I collect email on my server from various (remote) mail-servers.
This is then processed by postfix/amavis/clamav/spamassassin .
Spam is marked by addition of [SPAM] or ***Spam*** to the Subject header,
as well as addition of several other headers.
As I understand it, the email is then passed through dovecot(?),
to ~/Maildir/cur/ .
This must be a standard setup.
So how normally is spam dealt with, at this stage?
You seemed to be suggesting that it could be dealt with earlier, by amavis?
Or it could be left to the client MUA, KMail in my case?
What is the norm?
I strongly doubt there is a norm. :)
But the howtos on amavis (which integrates clamav), show how it can do
all sorts of things with spam. What helped me a lot was:

But I used the http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd to do a 'better'
job at configuring amavisd. but it has been over 6 months since I
last looked at this.
What I do, is tag the spam and let my emailer (thunderbird) deal with
it. The problem with dropping spam, is what if it is not? Being able to
do a search on Junk and finding something that I really needed, has made
me put up with > 500 spams per day.
