class=440133511-20092005>By design, Spambayes, in all of its
manifestations, is a client-side utility. One of those manifestations is an
Outlook plugin, which makes sense because Outlook is itself a mail client. Some
people have tried to rejigger Spambayes to function as a server-side spam filter
for Exchange and other mail servers, but I'm not aware that any of those efforts
have been wildly successful.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=440133511-20092005>That said, Spambayes works almost as well in Outlook as
an Exchange client as it does in stand-alone Outlook. There are some timing
issues, notably involving server-side Outlook rules, which can preempt Spambayes
filtering with annoying results, but these issues are quite workable. (Actually,
Spambayes has different, but almost as annoying, timing issues with standalone
Outlook.) I've been using Spambayes in an Exchange environment for more than two
years and plan to continue to do so.
