I have to say I agree and was just about to answer when JP beat me to
the punch.  As someone who has installed and configured many a-email
server with anti-spam services, the HAM portion is always a very tricky
part when users are involved.  I would definitely want us to consider
testing usability to ensure that users can easily understand and resolve
their own HAM filtering issues.   I'm all for testing this though as
this looks like a promising and much-needed feature.
