Yes, it can do so.

This one creates a '.Suspect' folder for IMAP users who want
marginal spam sequestered. Put your own top-level directory
where I have <mailroot>:

(as my MUA munges the line-wraps, I've set-off the key line.)

=======================================================

quarantine_delivery:
driver = appendfile
user = exim
group = mail
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
maildir_format = true
mode = 0770

directory = <mailroot>/${domain}/${local_part}/Maildir/.Suspect/

create_directory = true
directory_mode = 0770
no_mode_fail_narrower
