Topic: Is spamassassin deleting messages?

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.3.2
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? DOwnload
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 7
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):  MySQL

- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

I've used ASSP for years sitting in front of my exchange server.    I'm on a steep learning curve with iRedMail.  Can someone answer a simple question so I don't have to dig too deep:

Is spamassassin deleting messages?  (DO I need to turn it off during my learning period).  Or does spamassassin just flag messages to put in the junk mail folder?

SpamAssassin is called by Amavisd to tag message a score, then Amavisd MAY quarantine it to SQL db if it's a spam/virus, or passes it to user's mailbox. Global sieve rule or user's own sieve rule may move spam to the Junk folder.
