You can do this already with a very simple Custom Function.
Here is how you do it:

In MailScanner.conf, set
Outgoing Queue Dir = &MyQueueDir

and then in CustomConfig.pm add this code.

sub MyQueueDir {
         my($message) = @_;

         return '/var/spool/mqueue' unless $message; # catch-all if message
is duff
         return '/var/spool/mqueue.highspam' if $message->{ishigh};
         return '/var/spool/mqueue.spam' if $message->{isspam};
         return '/var/spool/mqueue';
}

Note: I haven't tested that at all, but it should work okay.

Create the 2 new queue directories, restart MailScanner and run your new
extra queue runners like this
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q30m -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.highspam
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q20m -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.spam
