Wouldn't this be easily accomplished by just increasing the auto-learn
safety margin?  Raise the score at which spam is auto-learned, and lower
the score at which ham is auto-learned, and you'll auto-learn fewer
messages. If I understand how this works, the manual teaching will
therefore rate higher since it will have less competition within the
database.
