That may be OK if you have a user community that more or less agrees on
what is spam and what isn't. Too often one person's spam is another's
ham. I don't want some idiot among the 15000 users of the same
mailserver -- this is my real situation BTW -- decide that an admin
message he doesn't like is spam, and therefore increase the chance that
others won't see it.

And of course if *anyone* can log in to a specific account, then the
spammers can as well (there's no such thing as a shared secret among
15000 users) and bias the engine in their favour. No thanks.
