you deliver messages tagged as "undesirable" to a quarantine. This may be - a junk folder - spam headers added to message (then MUAs are configured to use these to eithe put the message in a special folder or to just allow user to order messages so that they can focus on untagged messages first). - tagged subject. variant of the above, but I don't like it. - quarantine server (another pop/imap server). dbmail may be handy here. - webmail - web quarantine (mailzu for instance) - amavisd-new quarantine ...
