I think what you want to do is use a router (using exim4, right?) that
as part of the condition checks the message to see if it is spam
(after it returns to exim from SA).
I haven't tested this, but if I assume the lookup you posted is
correct, this should point you in the right direction :
begin routers
spamcheck_router:
[...]
spam_deliver_router:
no_verify
condition = ${if def:h_X-Spam-Flag: {1}{0}}
driver = accept
transport = spam_deliver
[... rest of your routers ...]
begin transports
spam_deliver :
driver = appendfile
maildir_format
check_string =
file = "${lookup ldap{ldap:///ou=People,dc=email,dc=uleth,dc=ca?homeDirectory?sub?(uid=${local_part})}{$value}fail}/Maildir/.spam"

Depends on how you write the path.

Put a trailing slash on the path to use maildir format instead of
mbox. Also, use
$home/Maildir/.spam/
*not*
$home/Maildir/.spam/new/

How to shoot yourself in the foot with Java:
You find that Microsoft and Sun have released imcompatible class
libraries both implementing Gun objects. You then find that although
there are plenty of feet objects implemented in the past in many other
languages, you cannot get access to one. But seeing as Java is so cool,
you dont care and go around shooting anything else you can find.
