I was thinking about addressing this in a different way... I think it'd be possible to add something to the ribbon or to the menus something as mark as spam/not-spam and then it just sends the message ID,spam/ham and an authentication token to Baruwa or a daemon running on the mail gateway... In an exchange environment the authentication details could be pushed using group policy or the user could just put in their own account details... I figure it could work in a similar manner to the release from the quarantine email?
