Do you use Exchange?
Because I see this in your mail headers:

X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5

"Out of the office" messages are sent by the Exchange server. Even when
Outlook is not running.
You probably use SpamBayes as a client-side filter, as an Outlook plugin.
If this is the case, then SpamBayes can't do anything about it.
Three possible solutions:
* don't send OotO messages
* have a better server-side antispam
* live with it (sorry, but it's true)
