ok. i think i must revised to update your Webmin
Tutorial :)

now, I set to /$HOME/mail/.imap/spam since I use
Devocot 
which is default IMAP/POP for FC5. But the 
/$HOME/mail/.imap/spam not created when I access using
Email 
Client (which usually automatic created when I am
using 
commercial Email Server such as MDaemon and Exchange).

My last questions:
- Do I need to create the ../spam directory manually?
or 
this directory will automatic created as soon a spam
coming 
to the user mailbox?
- When using Devocot, is not right using
/$HOME/mail/spam 
because Devocot uses /$HOME/mail/.imap. So, must be
using 
/$HOME/mail/.imap/spam, right?
- We can use EICAR test file to test viruses, is there
a way 
to test that above anti-spam work correctly? I already
try 
to copy-paste some Spam Email from my "MS Exchange
IMAP-Spam 
folder" to "Postfix Email Server-IMAP-Inbox" using
Outlook 
Express but the spam mail still in the 
/$HOME/mail/.imap/INBOX.
