Sure, in case of big amount of different users, the central SPAM
filter can do only basic (obvious) filtering which leads to higher
false negative rate (or vice versa, high false positive). IMO that is
reason why multiple MUAs has own SPAM filters, to personalize
results. But some, of course, is not all, especially not webmails...

My user base is small, thus central SPAM filter does good job, of
course, with never ending tweaks/improvements (as SPAMs changes).
But i tweak it instead of playing online games :-D

Anyway, i think, that central SPAM filter still can be useful for you
to filter obvious SPAMs, while perhaps not with default settings.

I am aware of this (and i see it in job), one cannot fully rely on
users complains, thus my central SPAM filter is not directly trained
by users (i do not use any users contributed RBL too). The SPAM/HAM
automation is only for the reporting side. Users mark message
as SPAM and i get full (including headers) message copy to
decide/act on it. As my false positive rate is very low, it works
perfectly.

I have idea (not implemented yet) to do server side personal SPAM
(bayes) filter, which will be trained automatically (based on move
to/from Junk folder) and will eg. negate delivery to Junk folder from
central filter. I did some tests in my "lab" and it seems as reasonable,
but it still needs more tests and thinking, especially i afraid about
performance and resources usage.

AFAIK, my users are happy with this, but you give me the idea, to
make it optional, while still default, behaviour.

Sure. I reject these obvious SPAMs on various stages of SMTP
dialogue, based on various conditions, mostly scored. At end
i use rspamd and i can tell, that after its initial scores/rules tweaks
it works very well and its false positive/negative rate is really low.
Once message is accepted, it is delivered or processed (eg. DMARC
reports are processed by script, not delivered to user).

regards
