In the user's .qmail:
|/usr/bin/maildrop
(or whatever path is needed)

In the user's homedirectory, a .mailfilter file, including
things like:

if (/^Subject:\ stuff-you-will-filter-on.*/:h)
to /path/to/filtered/Maildir/

For more details, consult http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/

I have done the above mentioned solution, but the problem is mail is getting
stuck in the queue.
here is qmail-send log
/@400000004822d6b616251eec starting delivery 2: msg 2360673 to local

my .qmail file[root[at]test trm]# cat .qmail

.mailfilter

[root[at]test trm]# cat .mailfilter
if (/^Subject:\ SPAM.*/:h)

Well, there's your problem.

I see no default delivery instructions, and I suspect that
/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/trm/Maildir/.Spam does not exist
(as a mailbox) or is a Maildir which hasn't been properly
specified (Maildirs need / at the end).

I have changed the "mailfilter" file here it is VPOP="|
/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox"
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST`

if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/)
{
# try filtering it using user-defined rules
exception {
include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter
}
# then try delivering it to a Spam folder
exception {
# to "$VPOP"
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/"
}
# ah well, I guess they'll just have to live with disappointment
exception {
to "$VPOP"
}
}
else
{
exception {
include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter
}
exception {
to "$VPOP"
}
}

in user's ".qmail" file is contain
cat trm/.qmail
# deliver into a file in $HOME/Maildir/
./Maildir/

cat .qmail-default
| maildrop mailfilter
#| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
#|/usr/local/bin/maildrop /home/vpopmail/.mailfilter

eventhough no luck
