Standalone installation of LiveAgent software doesn't have any spam filter by itself. Marking a ticket as spam is the job of the mail server by which the email is received. Additionally, it is possible to install SpamAssassin on your server. You can also use the SpamAssassin plugin directly in your LiveAgent which you can set up in Configuration > System > Plugins and configure it to use some external server where the actual SpamAssassin service is configured so before a ticket is created from an email in LiveAgent the email will go through that external SpamAssassin service and if the email is recognized as spam a ticket marked as Spam will be created in LiveAgent.

SpamAssassin Setup
