What did you change it to?

I'm not a Windows nor an Outlook Express user, so take this with a grain of
salt...  You might try annotating the subject instead of the to field
(option: notate_subject).  You might also try setting the header_*_string
options to something else.  I don't know if the header notation stuff looks
at those values or not.  I have them prefixed with my machine name, titan,
e.g.:

    [Headers]
    include_evidence: True
    header_spam_string: titan-spam
    header_ham_string: titan-ham
    header_unsure_string: titan-unsure

That way I can distinguish X-SpamBayes-Classification headers added by
different machines.  You might want to get rid of "ham", "spam" and "unsure"
altogether:

    [Headers]
    include_evidence: True
    header_spam_string: YouSlimebag!
    header_ham_string: You'reMyFriend!
    header_unsure_string: WhoAreYou?

Finally, make sure that Outlook Express's filter rule is properly
restrictive.  It should be filtering on "spam,", not just "spam".  You
shouldn't see "spam," in a domain name.
