Does the message ever leave the user's in folder on the mail server while SpamAssassin is running? If not, what happens to the original message (before it is re-wrapped as spam)? If so, how is it sent back to the correct mail box?
I've never run SA on a windows box. It can be done, and others can help you with that.. I personally have only run it on Unix platforms, where perl is a very native tool.
However, I can tell you that all of the above functions are NOT functions of spamassassin.. they are functions of how you tie it into your mail chain, and what tools you use to do that with.
SpamAssassin itself is a pure pipelined filter. Some other program feeds it input, SA processes it, and some other program (usually the same one feeding SA input) handles the output. SA does not process messages by traversing into mailboxes or other such strangeness.
For server setups SA is generally called *before* mail is delivered to folders by the MTA or MDA. What features/functions post.office provides for calling external tools is beyond me, but most useful mailservers have some kind of feature to allow you to run mail through external mail filters.
