Are you talking about filtering your spam into a separate mailbox
folder? Any other outlook-related configuration doesn't have much to do
with MailScanner.

We use procmail to put messages identified as spam (currently using the
subject line) into each user's "Bulk" folder, which is viewable via
IMAP. This also allows the user to find any misclassified e-mails and -
when we enable it - users can place false negatives in there for Bayes
filter training. You can also run a daily job to purge old messages out
of this folder. All this happens server-side - no outlook rules and
such.
