Not necessarily the MTA proper, but the 'glue' layer between an MTA and SA,
e.g. a milter, a script wrapping spamc that re-injects scanned mail or delivers
it, etc. For example, the Milter API includes a "quarantine" action reply from
the milter to the MTA and both Sendmail and Postfix will hold messages in a
special queue if a milter responds with that reply. Amavis and MIMEDefang both
support quarantine mechanisms based on SA scoring.

In other words: glue layers and MTAs already have quarantine implementations
which can be used to sideline messages based on SA scoring. Logic and tooling
for rescan and/or release from those existing facilities makes more sense than
building a whole new quarantine facility in SA.
