correct.

No, you don't _need_ a special user in your domain to catch spam for training. There are ways to do that, look up "spamtrap" for instance.

so all my users are using Outlook express, when they see some message is spam

how can i ask them to report back so that create rules based on that

How are your users retrieving their mail from the server? POP or IMAP?

If they are using POP then it becomes difficult, as the mail client will unavoidably mangle the spam messages when your users try to send them to you to be learned. I'll let others who actually use POP comment on that.

If you are using IMAP it becomes really easy. Just set up a SpamAssassin-SPAM mail folder for each user, tell them to _move_ spams from their inbox to that folder, and train from it nightly. Poke around under http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/antispam/ for some scripting that you can use as a starting point.
