I thought that maybe there could be some Actions that are like Filters but you 
apply "only one" Action per message selection( 1 or many ).

You could define Actions using a dialog similar to the Filters dialog but 
without the Criteria. Those Actions could be in a RMB Actions sub-menu.

So you could define actions like:

Report Spam: pipe through spamassassin -r
Add to Whitelist: pipe through spamassassin -W
Remove from Whitelist: pipe through spamassassin -R

And this solution could be used for any spam tools that has a command line 
interface.

Thanks,
