Instead of using one wordlist, let each user maintain their own, but 
cross-link them to maintain the advantage, if there is one, of the shared 
wordlist.  Info on using multiple wordlists is here: 
http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/faq.shtml#multiple  This may be even more 
advantageous if one or more of your users receive more similar ham/spam than 
others, as they can simply leave out the wordlists from users which differ 
greatly.
