That must be an Outlook feature.  SpamBayes does nothing other than compute
a spamminess score for the messages it's fed.

I don't use Outlook, but in my environment, SpamBayes adds a header to
the message with the computed score, then further downstream procmail
tosses the message in the appropriate folder.
