Like I said, it looks correct to me, can you trace the
spam-ham-copy-or-move-routine function?

Then you can just move all spam to a spam group and set it to never
run the expiry process, no?  If you insist on keeping the spam in the
original group I guess I can make that mark configurable...  It just
seems like very few people would find it useful, and spam.el has too
many options already.

I find little value in keeping old spam, personally.  Old ham is very
valuable, but old spam tends to lose value with time.
