IMHO, anything more than a "delete as spam" button is going to be too
much for most people.  Mail administrators would likely be willing to
put up with more procedure, so maybe a forwarding mechanism like you
describe would work if there is a central adminstrator.

I suspect that providing a "spam" folder that people could drag
false-positives into wouldn't be too much to ask of them.  If you can
get them to do that, a site administrator can set up mboxtrain to run
against their mailboxes nightly and retrain the database.  I would like
to set something like this up on woozle (my home box) but I don't have
time yet.

But I think, in general, any training procedure that requires more than
a single click, or a click and drag, is going to be seen as just as
annoying as the spam itself.
