I posted about my setup for this just a couple of months ago.  I set up
a confirmed-spam folder for each user, which has an ACL that gives the
"spamkill" user access.  Then I have a simple program that pulls the
mail out of there and stuffs it in an mbox file, and another program to
run on my mail filter hosts that passes all of that spam to sa-learn.

You can find the relevant code at:

If you just wanted to be able to read the mail in those folders, though,
why not just add an ACL for yourself and read the mail normally?
