I don't have the e-mail of sender of these mails. www.holtecnet.com is our domain. We are using zimbra 3.1.1 on Fedora 5. Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated. Sandip K Sadhukhan
That will delete necessary mails also. Is there anyway I can delete mails only from "MAILER-DAEMON" ? Sandip
I have this script for this situations Code: #!/bin/bash mailq | tail -n +2 | grep -v '^ *(' | awk 'BEGIN { RS = "" } # $7=sender, $8=recipient1, $9=recipient2 { if ($7 == "MAILER-DAEMON" ) print $1 } ' | tr -d '*!' | postsuper -d -
Thanks, Your full script is not visible. Can you please post the full code or send me at [email protected]? Sandip
Yes that's true, but you can also: postsuper -r *QUEUE ID* (for releasing one) postsuper -r ALL (for releasing ALL) postsuper -d *QUEUE ID* (for deleting one) postsuper -d ALL (for deleting ALL)
