Dear Suresh 
           Thanks for the  mail , 

without knowing the meaning of "maildirs" only I was
mentioning about the term "maildirs". sorry for the
mistake 
      Actually  I want my users mail to go to
"/var/spool/mail/username" , so that when I log in as
user and type "mail" command I should see the mail

            my problem is that  users mail is not
coming to 
                     "/var/spool/mail/username"   ,
instead it goes to   "/var/spool/mail/root"  and when
I log in as root I see all the mails which I had send
from outside to the users 
                    Please Guide me 
                        Thanks A lot 
                          Joseph John
