Is it possible that the firewall is blocking port 8880?  Look at the
firewall configuration and try opening up port 8880.  I don't use Black
Ice myself, so I can't help with the specifics.

If that doesn't help, type the command "netstat -a" at the DOS prompt,
with and without SpamBayes running.  That will tell you which ports are
open, and so will tell you whether SpamBayes is successfully opening port
8880 and whether there's another process using it.
