I hadn't realized you were relaying the mail to separate servers for each
domain. My method only works for final delivery.
However, the same principle might be applicable. Having multipe routers for
the same domain, with the router chosen based on whether the message is spam
or ham, might still work. Where your solution needs to differ is in what the
transport for spam does, and whether the final mail delivery agent can be
configured to handle it.
If you want all spam to go to a single mailbox for each domain, and you are
relaying the mail, I think that would require rewriting the recipient. I
don't have a clue whether that's even possible. Also, you'd need to keep the
original recipient list intact incase the review showed it not to be spam.

That's only any use on the server which actually contains the users
mailboxes. If your system is simply a relay then, presumably, it won't have
access to the filesystem to remove those old files.
