At a guess, PC Cillin uses some sort of proxy, so you'll have to chain the
proxies together.  FAQ 5.4 talks about this:

You only need to use the SpamBayes SMTP proxy if you want to train via
forwarding messages to SpamBayes.  If you train via the review page on the
web interface, then you shouldn't enter anything in the SMTP options in the
configuration page, and you should leave the SMTP server in your mail client
alone.
