"Another thing to be aware of, is that typically you should aim to train with at least 1000 messages of spam, and 1000 ham messages, if possible. More is better, but anything over about 5000 messages does not improve accuracy significantly in our tests."
This isn't telling you you should train SpamAssassin 1,000 messages at a time; it's telling you it's a good idea to train SpamAssassin with a couple thousand messages total.
Feeding sa-learn one message at a time is fine. Go for it.

I appreciate the help but um... you didn't really answer my
question....
reread please...
I read in the FAQ that if SA makes an error in judgment with respect to its bayes filter that I can use sa-learn to correct this
I have also read that it is best to only do this with around 1000 pieces
of mail at a time (per sa-learn man page).
**** So is it bad to push one piece of mail though sa-learn or not? ****

sa-learn trains the bayes filter. bayes won't work until you trained it with 200 ham AND spam.
