Somewhere in the Slug archives is an example of the find command
operating on files which I can not find. So I am forced to ask the
question again. I am trying to do something like the following

find /spam -name smtpd*  -printf '  mv  {}  %AY%Am \n '

Is the bit in printf section complete? Do I need a shell command?

i.e. go through the collected spam messages and move them into a
subdirectory based on when they arrived.

TIA
