Really hard to say w/o being able to see how you have Outlook configured.
Are you using rules?  What version of Outlook?  I'd play w/the ruleset and
tweak it, then run it until you get the desired results.  By the time it
gets to Outlook it's way beyond anything to do w/MailScanner and there's a
jillion ways that your Outlook could be set up that we have no way of
knowing about.

Lotsa luck...
