Assuming  you  are  talking  about  Outlook *without* Exchange: AFAIK,
there  is  no  built-in  header  rule that is recognized on the client
side.  While  it  is  relatively  simple  to  hook  into the IMF chain
*within* an Exchange server and simulate a message that has a high SCL
(or  relocate  messages to subfolders regardless of user rules, etc.),
Outlook's  Junk  E-Mail  folder  and Exchange's Junk E-Mail folder are
only unified if the user connects via MAPI. If it's running standalone
(POP/IMAP), Outlook 2003 uses its own version of (or subset of?... not
sure  of  its  relative  breadth)  the  IMF to move messages into Junk
E-Mail.

Note that when you are using MAPI, the exposed plain-text X-SCL header
is  not what's used to determine the folder re/location. X-SCL is just
a  representation  of  the  MAPI  SCL property, which, for example, is
passed between Exchange servers using proprietary ESMTP extensions and
only  over  an  authenticated server-to-server connection, rather than
passing a visible RFC 822 header over a generic RFC 821 connection.

When  you're not using MAPI, the standalone Outlook IMF doesn't bother
with an RFC 822 header, either. All the logic is internal.

You might think about just exporting the appropriate Outlook rule to a
file  and  distributing  the  file  with  quick instructions on how to
import.  It's  not too tough for the end-user if they're on your side,
though  not as foolproof as the server-side solution, of course. There
are  ways  to  script the rule creation, too, I think, but it might be
harder  to  distribute  an  zipped/renamed  EXE/VBS  than a relatively
harmless RWZ (rules export file).
