Well, interestingly enough, my external ISP on the receive side is in the process of upgrading their spam filtering, so some of the messages tagged as spam do actually make it into the destination mailbox when they take down the spam filters. Those that I have seen show up, do seem to correctly be seen by SA during a POP3 retrieval. This is however not really conclusive.
