I tried a couple of very simple tests. I set

Spam Actions = store forward mark+spam at msapiro.net

and then sent a a non-spam message with 2 recipients and it was
delivered properly to both recipients.

I then sent a spam message with the same two recipients and got this logged

The message was stored in quarantine as spam and was still in milterout.

I then sent the non-spam message again, and it was delivered normally
and both it and the spam message were removed from milterout, but the
spam message disappeared with no evidence in the mail.log that the
milter tried to send it at all.

The headers of the message in milterout are:
