This really doesn't make sense.

Why would someone want to "submit" either one of these things?

How about "Mark as spam" and the other would be "UnMark as spam"

That makes *way* more sense to me. Are people supposed to like "ham"? It would be nice if this were at least configurable.

What about Vegetarians, Vegans, Jews, Muslims, Jains, etc? They definitely don't want anything to do with ham.

I have the same problem, I can't suggest spams, from today I?m receiving about a spam form any 30 minutes and I can't suggest spams.

Spam and Ham is similar to the terminology used by spam assassin, a popular tool for filtering email spam. The same concept applies here, you can train your spam filter by feeding it ham or spam. Perhaps a configuration can be implemented as to not offend those with certain religious beliefs.

I'm not exactly sure what comments #1 and #2 are saying. However, I do agree with the OP that the proper terminology should be 'mark as spam' or 'unmark as spam'. I mean I know technically the spam is being 'submitted' to an antispam service provider, but the use of the word 'submit' implies that you are intentionally creating spam for submission, which is not the case. Perhaps the need for 'mark as ham' could be better explained.

I've updated the links to just "Spam" and "Not Spam". This seems more intuitive, and it matches the terminology other CMSs use.
