We study the spin-dependent transport through a quantum dot coupled to two ferromagnetic electrodes using the equation of motion method for the nonequilibrium Green's functions. Our results show that the conductance and the density of states (DOS) are strongly dependent on the configurations of the magnetic electrodes. In parallel configuration of magnetic electrodes the conductance is affected by the spin-flip process and the Coulomb repulsion on the dot. The Kondo peak for spin-dependent transport is splitted into two peaks by the spin-flip process. The locations of the two peaks are symmetric about no spin-flip peak and the separation of the splitting is dependent on the strength of the spin-flip parameter $R$. This effect may be useful to realize the spin-filter device.
