I do use the IMAP method here. We run in site-wide mode for both bayes and awl, so we create a couple of shared IMAP folders that users can drop messages into when they want to mark something as spam or not spam. Then we run an IMAP-to-SA learner script that learns the messages. (Actually, we have a manual review in between the user dragging the message and learning because users will do the darndest things.) That script was posted on the list a while back as well. I could be persuaded to clean up mine and send it if you can't find the original. Bret
