[Spambayes] Clean reinstall on Windows server not working as expected

Hi
I've just rebuilt our 2003 server and done a clean install of the
Windows binary version of SB. Having browsed the web site docs I can't
find anything to explain the behaviour I'm seeing. We're not running
the SMTP proxy, only a POP proxy. There are therefore no SMTP "train
as" addresses set.
The ini file reflects these settings.
I also have the SB system configured to notate to for spam/unsure, and
to classify subject headers only for spam.
However still SB insists on adding "unsure at spambayes.invalid" as an
address to all messages about which it is unsure.
I'm fairly sure that the older [nonbinary] version I used to use
permitted one to control what addresses were added and what wording was
added to subject and X headers etc via ini settings, but I can't find
any documentation in the current version that supports this. I'm
probably being quite blind here.
I really need to a] prevent SB adding unecessary addresses to the To:
headers and b] manage /what/ is added to the subject line. Suggestions
or pointers welcomed.
Footnote on an issue you may want to know about: if one has a proxy
service installed on a 2000/2003 server, with SB Tray Icon set to open
on login, and one is using Windows Terminal Services or Remote Desktop
to connect to the target machine then in most cases [unless one makes
special effort to do otherwise] one is connecting to Console 1 rather
than Console 0. That means that there's a new instance of the Tray Icon
starting up as one logs in; the SB Tray app /really/ does not like a
2nd instance of itself running and will report that the SB service is
not running when it /is/ running correctly. If one mistakenly attempts
to 'start' the service from the tray icon one gets a lengthy timeout
eventually followed by an error that the service could not be started.
TIA
Robert
