Hi Steve,

This way of solving your issue is very opaque to users. They want
something to happen (receive spam in their INBOX), but need to change
something completely else (signature location) to accomplish that.

The correct way of solving this, would be to enable to user to activate
the sorting of spam. This can easily be by creating a global sieve
script for spam filtering, and "include" it by default in the user's
personal sieve script. The user can easily disable it there when needed,
