Yes, got the other question answered, thank you everyone :)

You don't have to, but If you would not mind expanding on how you are
using your spam mailbox.  I have a exchange server also, and MailScanner
is in between the internet and the exchange server.  Like yours I would
suspect.  How are you taking the un-caught mail and putting it in the
spam mailbox?  

Are you taking the ID of the message (by using mailwatch) and doing a cp
command and moving the message to the spam mbox?  Such as:
Cp /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20050713/j6CH7SSN017953
/home/user/mail/
