Yes, that is all you need... The other 'nice to have' option would be to be 
able to select a group of messages and right click and then have learn as 
ham/spam then.

I was thinking that assuming outlook is on a domain for now then you could just 
push out settings via the GPO for authentication... For standalone installs 
then you'd need to manually enter values. I think if it works on outlook 2010 
then it should probably work on 2007 as well?

On the baruwa side then we'd need a way of passing username/password along with 
message  ID and learn operation (probably via https) and then all we'd need to 
return would be a success/fail value.
