This ought to work fairly well, I think, modulo the training issue.
My idea was to not train the list at all, before turning on
spambayes. So the first batch of messages will all get held as
unsure, and you'd use the admindb page to accept and reject messages.
Accept messages would train as ham and rejected messages would get
trained as spam.
The u/i for these options is undecided -- maybe you have an additional
"train as..." radio button. I don't think this matters much right
now.
So as your list warms up, you'll be training the system. I wonder how
long it'll take before spambayes gets pretty good at detecting what's
appropriate and what's not for your list?
