Well, it's spamassassin relevant, but it's not something that spamassassin
itself can do.

SA itself can't redirect or delete mail. The way it patches into mail systems
inhibits it from doing anything but analyzing and modifying the message
contents.

In theory what you want to do is get Exim, or whatever tool is calling SA, to
change the delivery envelope for the tagged spam to go to your spam_catch
user.

However, I'm no Exim expert, but at least I've pointed you in the right
direction.
