Good. Hold the course. You don't need to change your IMAP server to
achieve what you want to do here.

I don't have this problem...

Bayesian filter pollution between users would make it more or less
useless, though.

Sure they do. dman downplays the effectiveness of his original
solution to this problem, but I tend to prefer it myself. It allows
for each user to have their own spamassassin settings apply.

If these users have normal shell logins, then all you have to solve,
optionally, would be folders to assign spam and ham to that gets run
through spamassassin -r and spamassassin -k at given intervals.
I've been kind of vaguely wondering in the background if spamassassin
has support form mbox input since that would greatly simplify things.

It's sort of something you have to plan for on your own.
