Ouch! This does not sound good :)
But I feel your pain. I have a customer where I installed DSPAM and I was under 
the wrong impression that the webgui would be the best tool for the job. But 
no! Not there! Something like a webgui is just to much. I don't know why? But 
it is like that! I am probably to much used to do this there and that over 
there: using my mail client on Linux (Sylpheed) and then using my mail client 
in the office (Lotus Notes) and while outside of the office using web mail 
(Horde, SquirrelMail, RoundCube, etc) and each time going to the webgui and 
correcting DSPAM errors. For me this kind of workflow is normal. But not at 
that customers place. Anyway... Since they use Lotus Notes/Domino it was no big 
thing to help them. I just created two buttons in their mail template (one 
button in the inbox to report selected mails as spam and one in the junk folder 
to report selected mails as ham. After reporting I had to move the mail from 
inbox to junk or from junk to inbox (depending where they clicked the button) 
and change the DSPAM headers and tag the subject according to the action). And 
guess what? This seams to be the only way to get ultra lazy users to work with 
the filter. Make their life ultra easy. Don't force them to go to the webgui to 
report spam/ham. They are to lazy to do that or they just plain simple don't 
know how to do that on the webgui. Don't try to explain it to them. Don't try 
to document it. They just can't. It is over their head. But pressing to simple 
buttons (red x for reporting spam and green check mark for reporting ham) is 
simple enough. If you can then integrate it into their mail software. The more 
easy you make it for them, the more they will work with it. Webgui is nice and 
dandy but for the average user it is to much. And no! The global spam/ham alias 
is not an option. They are NOT going to send each mail back to DSPAM to correct 
errors. If they can send them all at once, then maybe but not one by one.
