I would say "yes". It is the permissions of the spam file. The spam file
will need to be group writable by everyone who has need to read/write
this file.
The easiest way to prove that this is the problem would be to "chmod 666
/var/spool/mail/spam" and see if that works for you. Leaving it like
that may or may not be what you want to do.
How are you dealing with false-positives? Each user really should have
their own spam inbox to sort through on their own to find any false
positives without fear of someone else seeing mis-identified email.
