Ahhh. Ok. I get it now. Step 1: Have the gateway drop suspected spam in
the user's SPAM IMAP folder. Step 2: Create a user HAM IMAP folder with
system wide script that learns all email from these HAM folders. Step 3:
Configure users' email client with IMAP account on gateway, then users
can copy false positives to HAM and to their regular account folders.

That'll work. Thanks.
