This is not how the smtp proxy works.  It doesn't train all your outgoing
messages as ham - in fact, it leaves almost all of your messages alone.
What it does is intercept mail to two special (configurable) addresses, and
trains any messages to those as either spam or ham (depending on the
address) - and *does not* deliver those.  Ideally, you need to send it
either exact copies of the messages that you receive (most mailers will not
do this), or forward messages with the spambayes id of the message (which is
included by default, if your mailer forwards *all* the original message's
headers), so that spambayes can lookup the message in the cache, and train
it from there.

It's a substitute/complement to the web training interface, not something
different for outgoing mail.
