If you are receiving too much spam in your mail account, I recommend you to download the spam Assassin on your system.Download spam Assassin from the following site:
http://spamassassin.apache.org/downl...e=200806121419

should make sure that you have enable Spam Assassin through your Control panel. You can do this from:
ControlPanel -> Mail -> SpamAssasin -> Enable SpamAssassin

Spam Assassin is an automated mail filter that uses a wide range of detailed check or heuristic algorithms on mail headers and message body text to identify "SPAM" (unsolicited email). This software is capable of eliminating more than 98% of all SPAM messages. Its performance depends on the individual configuration, which can be tuned by each website owner. Once identified, the mail is tagged as "SPAM" for later filtering using the user's desktop mail client.
Also make sure that the downloaded files should be kept to its proper location.
