The GPO is missing a key setting, which I discovered by using the Custom
Maintenance Wizard procedure detailed at
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/office/2003/all/reskit/en-us/outb07.mspx
after the GPO approach didn't work. The missing registry value is
JunkMailImportLists (DWORD). To make it available to your policy object,
you'll need to modify the Outlk11.adm file to add the following policy
information. (I put it just before the POLICY "Overwrite or Append..." line
in my file.):

POLICY "Junk Mail Import List"
 PART "Check to import junk mail lists" CHECKBOX
    VALUENAME JunkMailImportLists
    VALUEON NUMERIC 1
    VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
 END PART
 END POLICY

After you save the .adm file, you should be able to use the group policy
editor to set the option to import lists with this policy setting and then
configure the other related settings that control import/append and the
location of the lists to import.

Happy Junk Mail Blocking!
