If you have enough customers using IMAP
 could they be educated to use this?

Each user gets a SPAM folder for the auto-detected SPAM.
You ask them to dump any missed spam in there too, 
 and to remove any false positives.

A cron job runs spamassassin or dspam in learning mode,
 assuming all read messages in the spam folder are actually spam.
Search the other mail folders for the
 spamassassin over-threshhold header,
 and learn it as ham.
