Here's what I'm doing for Outlook users:
Have the users create SpamAssassin-SPAM and SpamAssassin-HAM folders.
Copy the missed spams to the SPAM folder, and the false positives to the
HAM folder.
Periodically export those folders to a new .PST file on the spamd box.
A nightly process runs that extracts the messages from the .PST files
and runs sa-learn over them.
So far (we're still in beta) it appears to be working well. It's more
reliable than Save-As individual messages and getting the wrong format
(Outlook seems to have stopped believing in RFC-822 format about two
weeks ago) and is simple enough for the users to understand.
I can provide more details if needed.
