So, a side effect of this approach is a 'web of trust' with respect to noise email. :) Suppose I tell the mail system "I trust Dodge Mumford's judgement regarding what is spam" then my mail system will automatically move into my spam folder all emails that Dodge moves into his spam folder. We might choose to look out for eachother in a reflexive relationship, or we might choose to additionally trust an outside source, etc, etc.
This is kind of what brightmail.com does for $$$. The problem, as I see it, is having the time to put eyeballs on the spam one receives. You might want to look into rsync'ing (if you're running sendmail or postfix) with Ben Grimm's spam list, which gets updated at least 48 times per day.
