To be honest, since using MAIA, I think I've removed my own 'spam filters'
,,, with quarantine set for all messages scoring >5, those messages never
reach my filters, but stay in MAIA until I go in an report as spam, or
non-spam ...

So, in theory, it should just be a matter of enabling the appropriate
settings in MAIA for each of the regional contacts, and getting them to
login periodically to 'train' the system ...

If you *really* wanted the responsibility for it, I could link all of the
regional accounts to yours, which means when you login to 'train' the
system, you'd be training all of them ... your call on that one :)

'k, can't help with alot of the above ... but there is definitely a 'check
all' ... look at the very top line, before the first email is listed ...
each column as a 'checkbox', that if you click it, sets all boxes in that
column to checked ...

Not if you are quarantining in MAIA, since it won't pass it to the
mailbox, but holds it in cache until you release it ... and its expected
that all you will release is, of course, non-SPAM ... the rest is
reported/trained and deleted from the web interface ...
