There is a plug-in specific to Outlook, but SpamBayes will work with pretty
much any mail setup.

The Windows installer includes everything you need to use either Outlook or
any other mail client, including Outlook Express.

You'll need to get that again.  When you run the installer, it will ask you
whether you want to install the Outlook plug-in or sb_server (for all other
mail clients).  If you don't have Outlook installed, then it should default
to sb_server, but make sure that's selected, complete the installer process,
and it's installed.  (Although you still need to configure it).

FAQ 4.21 has a step-by-step guide to getting SpamBayes to run with Outlook
Express, so that's a good place to start.  Let us know if you run into any
troubles.
