There is none, you cannot completely rely on SA doing it for you, you have 
to be the last authority. What I do is:

1. some spamtrap email addresses are unscanned and get all spam they can 
gulp and get directed in one mailbox called spamtrap. From time to time I 
have a look at the mailbox and delete all messages which are not spam 
(this is very very rare) and then feed the complete mailbox as spam to 
Bayes.

2. in some of our mailboxes I delete all spam (which are just very few 
messages because we quarantine all spam and don't flood the inboxes with 
it) and delete some of the ham messages I think could corrupt Bayes with 
spammy looking stuff as ham and then feed the boxes as ham to Bayes.

This helps me keep a reasonable ratio, although the spam count currently 
far outweighs the ham count in the db.
