There are several technical and juridical reasony why this is not a good idea 
(independently from that you did not have to read your users email...). 

btw: Plesk might be a suitable tool for somekind of hobbyists fiddeling with 
internet servers but not in any semi-professional or professional environment. 
But this is another story...

It is usually a very bad idea to let normal users train a complex anti-spam 
solution like spamassassin - independently from if the results just affecting 
all users or the affected user only.

Normals users did not understand what is (technically) spam and not how a 
anti-spam solution like spamassassin is "thinking". This will result in 
uncalculable false positives for the user or all users and such situations.

If user want's to block email traffic they have a powerful tool with ingo, but 
there are a lot of end users who are still overwhelmed with ingo...

If they waste any email by a ingo rule (i.e. by a sender or content string) 
they build byself it is their problem if that rule catches the wrong email...


just my two cents,


Niels.
