Our system is still a prototype and we haven't decided yet how
frequently we'd be doing merges. As it seems to take a lot of time to
perform this operation, i believe we'dgo with about every 2 weeks or
so. We're not sure that we'll actually keep the global group but we're
playing with it to see how it works.

As long as you trust them. I wouldn't want to pick users that train
some messages that aren't technically spam but are annoying to them
since that will impact on everyone. In our case we decided that we'd
train dspam anyway and that we'd be the reference for everyone else
(this has other potential problems since we don't get the same kind of
traffic as the professors).

What you can do is to setup your dspam so it uses a single user for all
the messages. I don't remember how to do this but it's one of the
options we checked at some point. You don't do this by setting up a
dspam group but by changing your postfix (or other) configuration to
specify the user to use when receiving messages. This way, all the
email will be processed as this user and you'll be able to train it from
the web interface. Obviously this has the disadvantage that users won't
be able to have some personal training done but maybe that's what you want.
