Add "Junk E-Mail" to open other users folder

As a mail server admin, I regularly browse through Junk E-mail folders and
report spam back to the originating ISP (by IP address of course, since we
all know that the from address on spam is almost always forged). Right now,
this is a cumbersome project, as I have to go in, add a batch of users to the
"Also open" windows on the "Advanced Tab", clean out their junk e-mail
folders, and then remove them as I don't particularly want 30 users mailboxes
in my folder list all the time.

What would be nice is if Microsoft would add the "Junk E-Mail" folder to the
"Open Other Users Folder" option, or better yet, give us a way to have spam
delivered to a shared folder so I could review it, and either report it, or
mark it as not-spam and have it go back to the correct users inbox.

By using IMF, and several DNS based BLs, I have reduced the spam receive in
our organization to a level that would make this manual check on the few that
get through a pretty easy job if there was a way to get all the messages
together without me having to go hunt for them.

Now I'm no expert, but couldn't you create a public folder and then set up a
rule for your users to send any junk e-mail to the public folder. You would
then have access to everyones junk e-mail in one folder.
 
I have a public folder set up that users can manually drop spam in, but
getting them to take the time to do so is difficult. Outlook also does not
have a "If the message is junk e-mail" rule that I can use to automatically
forward it either (not that this would help since outlook kills the headers
when it forwards, and spam without headers is useless to me).
