Hey Craig,
I have been looking to do something similair myself.
An idea I came up with was to create a sub-folder in the users mailbox (assuming
you are using something that understands MailDir & IMAP) called SPAM. In this
way users can move any messages that get though the SPAM filters into this
folder. Then you just need to setup a cron job to retrieve the messages from
those folders and have spamassassin learn from them.
That is the basic idea of it although I have not looked into that much of the
specifics (so much to do so little time).
