I don't know if this will work for your situation or if you can modify this
approach, but I run spamassassin on my own box using a .procmailrc file in
my /home/<username> directory.
I keep my mail in a subdirectory Mail. I tell spamassassin to put all spam
in a file (mail 'folder') called Spam (versus the default 'caughtspam').
In Outlook Express for that account/machine, I make the Spam file ('folder')
visible via Outlook Express IMAP folders 'Show/Hide IMAP Folders'. If it's
a new file (mail 'folder') name you'll probably need to use 'reset list' to
see it/make it visible. This all may be specific to Outlook Express versus
regular Outlook. The result is all tagged spam is put in it's own file
(mail 'folder') on the server versus trying to create filters on every
machine/mail client I might use. Below is my .procmailrc
