Could you get them to save it to a particular folder? I use kmail and move all
my missed spam to a folder called spam/2learn. Then I have a cron job run by
user 'postie' that picks up and processes the folder using the following code
snippet:
echo "Learning SPAM from dougie mail"
sudo cp -v /home/dougie/Mail/.spam.directory/2learn /tmp/2learn
sudo chmod 777 /tmp/2learn
sa-learn --spam --mbox /tmp/2learn
In kmail it's possible to configure folders to expire mail after a certain
number of days so it is self-regulating in keeping the folder size down too
if you set it to a few days.
I find this a dead easy way to handle incoming mail that is not marked as
spam. I just drag and drop it in the spam folder and forget about it. Perhaps
your cron job could scan all users' spam folders and do something similar.
There's also the issue of which user is learning the spam. I do mine sitewide
(for me, Mrs Dougie and the cat). I'm assuming you're doing something
similar, rather than have different users operating their own spamassassin
database.
