I run my MailScanner boxes as gateways as well, and store the mail for a couple weeks.  I have a simple bash script that deletes anything older than X days in the quarantine directories.  Your MTA doesn't have to be involved w/flushing them.  They're just files on the hard drive.

Regarding pushing individual messages through sa-learn, I use MailWatch for MailScanner.  It is a nice web based interface for managing and reporting the mail.  Easy to feed the messages to spamassassin.  It keeps track of the messages in a mysql database, so if you adopt it, you'll need to set the database cleanup time to match the shell script.  That is, if you delete mail older than 30 days, you'll want the database to also be cleaned of anything older than 30 days.  There's a MailWatch discussion list similar to this group where you can get help installing and configuring it.
