How are you running SpamAssassin? If you are calling it from procmail
then there are innumerable scripts floating around for doing the
bad message diversion. (If you are doing it on mail just before it
is fetched by your mail reader, say OutlookExpress, then "No way"
comes to mind. It becomes a setup issue in OutlookExpress. Check
out filters and the "delete it from server" option.)
There are so many ways to deal with it that I'm rather astonished
you have never run across any such descriptions. They float throughout
the wiki. And someone of modest imagination could figure out the
OutlookExpress rule to deal with spam. (That is where I do almost all
of my spam diversion and spam handling.)

I am using sendmail as my MTA. Is there any option
or additional packages to block the spam mails or to
move it some folder instead of user's mailbox when
identifying as spam mail.

Depending upon what MTA you're using, I have used
the Spamass-Milter
successfully to block emails that rate at or above
the required_hits
level (now named required_score).
Though I'm having some trouble with SA as per my
last post ;-)
