SpamBayes should be able to do this, with any user that has the  
appropriate rights (enough to both read and move messages).  It  
wouldn't matter which user did this, although it should probably just  
be one, with only that user using the "Delete as Spam" and "Recover  
from Spam" buttons (or there would be two databases being used).

However, I recall messages to spambayes at python.org in the past that  
have indicated that there have been problems with this.  I don't  
recall what the resolution of those were.

The thing to do is try it - if the messages aren't filtered, then  
post a copy of the most recent log to this list (not spambayes- 
dev at python.org - that's for discussion about the development of  
SpamBayes).
