That's one way of doing it and for only 10 accounts its probably the
easiest. It would be best to use spamc / spamd and a central database.
I cannot see how the users can update the database under the Exchange
setup though. The disabled logins should not be a problem.

It is possible to make a Spamassassin transport for Exim. I don't know
how to make the transport save the spam but it should be possible. I
don't know anything about Postfix but it probably has a similar mechism.
