The kind of mail that you are talking about it usually easy enough to filter 
with normal filtering rules (ie. keyword matches).  It would however be easy 
enough to do what you are talking about (at least in Linux using my technique: 
procmail, sb_filter.py, sp_mboxtrain.py).  

You could have two spam databases.  The first one would be for your normal spam 
and the second for the other emails.  When you check spam with your procmail 
rules you would run it through the first filter and then run it through the 
second filter for the sb_filter classification.  Then you would move your 
special spam into its own location and add a additional scheduled training for 
the second database with the spam you want to check on occasions.
