It depends. If the "spam-mail folder" is a folder in a POP3 client, it is not easy to automate it. if the "spam-mail folder" is a folder in a IMAP-server, and the server uses Maildir format under Linux or other Unix, it is easy. The mails are plain text files in the server file system, and a cron job can easily run sa-learn --spam with that folder. If the server is some MS Exchange I have no idea. Maybe the folder could be downloaded periodically with fetchmail or such, and fed to sa-learn. Anyway, SpamAssassin itself does not help besides sa-learn, so this needs scripting on your part.
