This is what I'm doing right now.  But it appears quite clunky.

How does one get them "pre-approved" for quick reporting?  I've already
added my mailhosts to the appropriate place in SC.  And besides, I've
inspected the spams in my junk folder before I sent them on to SC for
reporting (so there's no likelihood of my reporting my own ISP--at least
that hasn't happened since I've added my own mailhosts).

Currently, what I've done after emailing the spam submissions, is to
click "Report Spam" and then approve them for transmittal one by one.
This one-by-one approval is what's driving me nuts.  Is there a screen
that I'm not aware of that allows me to list all submitted spams with
perhaps a checkbox beside each so I can check them all off and do a mass
submission?

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me since I have numerous email
addresses that are not SC related.

I understand.  I have already done this, both by registering my own
mailhosts at SC and inspecting the spams held in my Eudora Junk mailbox
before I invoke an AppleScript which automatically creates and sends the
spams, complete with headers, one per email, to SC for further
processing.
