Per-User SpamAssassin Scores?

I've been using MailScanner for over two years with excellent results. I'm now ready to jump into to the SpamAssassin side of MS. However, I need to set up a per-user scoring system if possible. I wanting to write a CGI which would allow users to log in and enable/disable spam assassin for their account as well as set their own scores. I read some material in the past about using a partial MySQL backend with MailScanner. With the frequency of changes which would occur, I think using MySQL to manage this would be best. Is this possible to do?

For those who want to know my reasoning behind this, here it is. I briefly used SA about 2 years ago and received a great deal of flack from some of my users. Right now, I am using a challenge-response anti-spam system which is okay. However it is cumbersome and not the best solution. I only planned for it to be an interim solution until I had the time to effectively return to the issue. So basically I need the ability to explicitly turn on SA for some users and not others as well as providing those who use SA the ability to set/customize their own scoring.

If this has been answered in a previous post , please point me to it. I did a quick search through the list and didn't find anything on this subject. Otherwise, thank you in advance for any help.
