It's not obvious to me that you've done anything wrong, but I don't have any
real-life experience with the Outlook plugin.  Perhaps one of the people
here who use that app can help.  Also, make sure you at least skim the
frequently asked questions list:

    http://www.spambayes.org/faq.html

and read the Outlook plugin troubleshooting guide:

    http://spambayes.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/spambayes/trunk/spambayes/Outlook2000/docs/troubleshooting.html

    Chris> I found this email link on the Spambayes FAQ page.  I'm not sure
    Chris> where I will find any replies I receive but perhaps one of you

If people "reply all" you will get a direct response.  You can also
subscribe to the mailing list (in which case you will see all list traffic),
or browse the archives of the list here:
