Please help me with this.

I've tried following in /etc/procmailrc, but to no use:

:0
*
| chown apache.mail "$SPAMFILE"
-----------------------------------------------
:0
*
| my-script "$SPAMFILE"

I want to change the owner of the file creatd by procmailrc to apache, thats
all.

Can anybody direct me to the right way, what's wrong with these codes

Thanks in advance
Nitin
