Having a quick glance at the code, it looks like the spam message is sent to
the configured email address as a message/rf822 attachment in a
multipart/digest message. You need to extract this attachment before you
pipe it to sa-learn.
I use "/usr/bin/spamassassin -r" to report spam, this won't work in your
case of course. I don't know off my head how this exactly works, but
shouldn't it be possible to run spamd on the sa server and use "spamc -r"
instead to report spam to this deamon?

Yes, this would be useful, but unless you or someone else provides a patch
or one of the developers feels a personal need for such a feature it won't
happen.
