I'm getting there and I really appreciate everyone's help. Thank you all.
I tried Av's and Dan's code and they both worked. The last thing I tried was dan's awk statement, which produced this after a bit of tweaking.
**Unmatched Entries** unix_chkpwd[8788]: password check failed for user (henry)
**Unmatched Entries** unix_chkpwd[13474]: password check failed for user (henry)

which is very good. It seems like its looking for unmatched entries, I'm sure there's an easy way of looking for other items (multiple items) such as A or B or C. In my case it would be unmatched entries or Illegal users from? Thanks again, this has been great for me, I am finally learning how to script.

I am sorry, can you please explain this further?
You might pass the log file in as an argument - so that it's not always checking the /var/spool/mail directory.
I don't know how to pass the log file in as an argument.
Thanks.

conflict
CONFLICT(8) [nmh-1.5] CONFLICT(8)NAME
conflict - search for alias/password conflicts
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/conflict [-search directory] [-mail name] [-version] [-help] [aliasfiles ...]
DESCRIPTION
Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface between nmh and the transport system is in good shape
Conflict also checks for maildrops in /var/mail which do not belong to a valid user. It assumes that no user name will start with `.', and
thus ignores files in /var/mail which begin with `.'. It also checks for entries in the group(5) file which do not belong to a valid user,
and for users who do not have a valid group number. In addition duplicate users and groups are noted.
If the -mail name switch is used, then the results will be sent to the specified name. Otherwise, the results are sent to the standard
output.
The -search directory switch can be used to search directories other than /var/mail and to report anomalies in those directories. The
-search directory switch can appear more than one time in an invocation to conflict.
Conflict should be run under cron(8), or whenever system accounting takes place.
FILES
/etc/nmh/mts.conf nmh mts configuration file
/etc/passwd List of users
/etc/group List of groups
/usr/bin/mh/mhmail Program to send mail
/var/mail/ Directory of mail drop
PROFILE COMPONENTS
None
SEE ALSO mh-alias(5)DEFAULTS
`aliasfiles' defaults to /etc/nmh/MailAliases
