Yes.  I just tell spam.el to move spams to INBOX.makespam and hams to
INBOX.makeham, and then the server-side config does the rest.

Incoming mail is passed through Bogofilter before invoking
cyrdeliver.  (I should be using LMTP but haven't figured that out,
yet.)

There are cron jobs which connect to the imap server using an
administrative account (it's a Perl script using Mail::IMAPClient).
The cron jobs train Bogofilter on user.jrl.makespam and
user.jrl.makeham.  The spam is then deleted, and the ham moved back
into the user's inbox.  (I have a separate database for each user.)

I could show the script if you like, but it's really ugly.
