sounds like your quarantine is what we call INBOX.spam.

we have a special rule to make Cyrus deliver to INBOX.spam (but the user
can override it with a Sieve filter), and let Cyrus do automatic purging
of messages older than 14 days.

we have a quarantine area for messages containing viruses, but we don't
give users access to quarantined messages unless we're 100% sure the
user knows what he's doing. (it's happened twice, I think :-)
