I recently wrote a script to automatically train bogofilter from a cron 
job - multiple users were a consideration.
Tell me - do your users not have centralised mail-storage..?

I use courier-imap & maildirs, and if I were implementing this I would 
just give each user a Spam/Definite folder & a Spam/Probable folder, 
then tell them to drag & drop all spam into their "definite" folder to 
confirm it. I think you can then have a periodic cron job to 
`bogofilter -s /home/*/.Maildir/.Junk.Definite/cur/* && mv 
/home/*/.Maildir/.Junk.Definite/cur/* 
/some/trash/dir/to/be/cleaned/out/later/`. Personally, I find this more 
elegant than

Likewise, bogofilter can be taught ham by using the time functionality 
built into find to parse for only new messages in users' "Saved Items" 
folders. I think if you take a look at the script at 
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.bogofilter.general/5935> you 
should be able to implement this in no time.

HTH,
