Thanks, and rest assured it will always be free.  The SpamBayes license is
Open-Source certified, and that gives you many guarantees:

Add your moderator folder to the collection of folders SpamBayes watches,
and enable "background filtering" (on the Advanced tab of the SpamBayes
Manager) to try to convice Outlook to process its own rules *before*
SpamBayes scores a message.  I'm afraid that interaction with Outlook rules
is quite a mess, but the background filtering gimmick seems to work well in
practice for "almost everyone".  Your mileage may vary.
