I use the following, and a few others, in a script placed 
in /etc/cron.daily:

sa-learn --spam --dir /var/spool/sa-exim/SApermreject/new | mail 
cam -s"SA PermReject"

That's all in one line.  It does the job and reports what it has done on 
a daily basis.  Note that you need to set up SA to categorize: 
SApermreject, SAteergrube, etc.  For my part, I just make sure that I 
have sent spam that has been missed to a mail folder that the script 
checks.  I don't usually bother training it with ham, since I have so 
few false positives, and trained it on setup with several hundred known 
ham messages.
