Yep, first make sure you're delivering with maildrop. Edit
/etc/courier/courierd so that:

DEFAULTDELIVERY="/path/to/maildrop"

and restart Courier. Now edit /etc/courier/maildroprc which is the global
maildrop filter script. Use something like:

xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc"

make sure the spamd daemon is running of course. spamc will do the
message tagging and modifications as you configure it to (I'd recommend
modifying the subject on spam messages). For users who actually wish to
have spam moved to a spam folder try creating a .mailfilter in their $HOME
directory that looks like this:

if (/^X-Spam-Status: *Yes/:h)
{
#Create SPAM IMAP folder if they don't have one
`test -d $MAILDIR/.Spam`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/usr/lib/courier/bin/maildirmake -f Spam $MAILDIR`
`echo INBOX.-Spam- >> $MAILDIR/courierimapsubscribed`
}
exception {
to "$MAILDIR/.Spam/"
}
}

that should do the trick. You should of course, look into customizing the
spamassassin settings and deciding things like whether you want a global
bayesian database or per user, SQL based prefs, autowhitelisting, etc.
Have fun.
