I'm not sure about the 'separate mail queue', but one approach
might be to use something like this in the data acl (presuming you're
using exiscan):
# See exiscan docs for more info!
# reject spam at high scores (> 8)
accept message = Spam score $spam_score > 8
spam = mailnull:true
condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{80}{1}{0}}
control = freeze
which would freeze any message that scored over 8 in spamassassin. This
way if you have:
freeze_tell = admin@???
in the main exim config - where admin@??? is the address you
want notified when a mail is frozen - you will be notified automatically
when a message is quarrantined/frozen.
