Hi,
filter training must be done with two sets of mails, archives of spam and good mail. Someone has to classify all mail to one of these. This might be done automatically with SpamAssassin or by each user. If the sysadmin does this job he/she has to read someone´s mail and this is against the law, at least in my country. The next problem is the archive itself. This is stored private data from different individuals, that is the next criminal act. It is not allowed to store private data, not the spam mail, it is the loveletter for your collegue.
So the user has to classify and this does not guaratee a better result.
