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
...

The idea here is to let the final recipient decide what to do with his 
email, because no automatic solution is gonna make everybody happy.

dunno, but I am for quarantine and check. no mail is discarded by the 
email system here (but recipients are free to read or discard email).
