You're using the Outlook plug-in, right?  The plug-in definitely doesn't
touch your outgoing mail, but (if you're not using the plugin), depending on
how you have things set up, the other applications might be.

Intuition is often wrong <0.5 wink>.

If you disable spambayes, does the problem go away?  If you uninstall, does
it go away?  (by "go away", I mean is it immediately fixed).  Are you using
any other plug-ins with Outlook?  I have seen reports of spambayes and other
plug-ins clashing, and if the other plug-in effects outgoing mail, that
could be a reason for the problem.

If you remain convinced that spambayes is at fault, please open a bug report
via the sourceforge system (<http://sf.net/projects/spambayes>), including
as much detail as possible (spambayes version, OS version, Outlook version,
exact error messages, spambayes log, ...).
