Any Kolab client should allow you to expert the addressbook into a  
defined format (vCards, csv, etc.).

You would of course need to script the conversion to the spamassassin format.

You can't do that. At least not out of the box and it would need some  
serious programming. It is certainly not impossible but I doubt the  
effort is worth the benefit.

Also depends on some additional parameters. Is this something you want  
only for your own personal account or should this be server-wide for  
all users?

If its just for you I'd just export the addresses once in a while and  
run it through a scripted converter to get the addresses whitelisted.

Cheers,
