You mark the spam as such (M-d or `S x').  You exit the Inbox or any
other group.  Any group with spam will have its spam processed
(INCLUDING spam groups, UNLESS you set
spam-move-spam-nonspam-groups-only, in which case the spam-processor
is still invoked but the spam-destination is not used).

The spam will be processed by the group's spam-processor.

Then, the spam will marked as expired and moved to the
spam-destination parameter of the group.

I hope this clarifies the process.
