I have similar, albiet smaller, environment. What I've done is asked my
users who want to help to have a "ConfirmedSpam" folder in their IMAP
directory. Every night I cron-job a LOCATE for that folder and then tell
sa-learn to learn those emails. Then I empty the mail dir to start fresh for
the next day. It works like a charm.
