Personally I prefer to send it to a mailbox and pick it up into my MUA with pop3. Of course once the mail is in an MUA you can sort it as needed. Ask yourself what was the highest scoring false positive you ever had? 12? 13? You might consider using something like $sa_quarantine_cutoff_level = 15; and simply discard high scoring spam. For me this gets rid if 85% of the spam so searching for false positives is much simpler. This is what works for me, but I'm sure others prefer (or are required) to approach the problem differently. If you quarantine to MySQL, a program like Mailzu would be useful, and/or possibly phpmyadmin would make things a little easier.
