Thanks Burton Windle . It's working now. I need
one more information. The suspected spam mails will be
moved to the SPAM file in the user's home directory
instead of going to the user's mailbox. The original
valid mails will be in the location /var/spool/mail as
in the user's name. We can download them using any
mail client. But my question is how can we download
the spam mails in the SPAM file which exists in the
user's home directory because if some valid mails are
moved to the SPAM location then how can I retrieve
them to my inbox in my mail client . Is there any
option or procedure available .If anybody knows kindly
assist me . I am expecting your reply soon.
Thanks in advance
Suresh Kumar
