You could filter only email from people not subscribed. Then members would not get false positives, and spam would be filtered. There is a chance of false positives, but it would only happen with non-members and I have used spam assassin on more than four thousand messages, with only one false positive.
Another posibility is to just have spam assassin mark the positives, but not move them differently. Then those who do not want to run the risk of a virus or do not want to check the message can do so.
