I use this today.  The email is forwarded back to self with the 
one word "spam" or "nospam".  This works.  This is probably pretty 
secure as everything takes place within the users own space.

$MYDOMAIN = `/bin/dnsdomainname`

:0
* $ ^^From $LOGNAME@$MYDOMAIN
{

         :0c
         * B ?? ^^ *spam$
         | $SPAMASSASSIN -R

         :0A
         | $FORMAIL -cI ""| $GREP -v "(^ *spam$|Original Message)" 
| ${BOGOFILTER
} -r -S -l

         :0E
         * B ?? ^^ *nospam$
         | $FORMAIL -cI ""| $GREP -v "(^ *nospam$|Original 
Message)" | ${BOGOFILT
ER} -r -N -l

}
