Usually system-wide spam filters merely tag the message as spam,

In the case of SpamAssassin this is deffinitly true. It only tags spam. It's
up to procmail (or whatever tool you use) to do anything about it. I have
procmail dump it to a spam folder. My users, who mostly are windows users,
have filters set in their MUA that see the header and do as they wish with it
(or they have me set up procmail to put it into a spam folder and they check
it once in a while.)
