    Try
    Code:
    mailq | tail [B][COLOR="Red"]-n +2[/COLOR][/B] | awk 'BEGIN { RS = "" } / falko@example\.com$/ { print $1 }' | tr -d '*!' | postsuper -d -
    then.

    I didn't get error, but mail queue also wasn't deleted.
    postqueue -p shows, that the senders address is [email protected] (3 queues).
    Any other idea? :)

    Did you use the following command?

    Code:
    mailq | tail -n +2 | awk 'BEGIN { RS = "" } / www-data@myhost\.example\.com$/ { print $1 }' | tr -d '*!' | postsuper -d -

    That worked.
    Thanks again, Falko.
