Here is a simple script “pfdel” that can be use to delete a mail from a sender or recipient address.
Save the perl script as pfdel in /usr/local/bin and chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pfdel
Then you can use the perl script as: pfdel [email protected] then it will delete all messages where ether [email protected], is in there sender or recipient address.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# pfdel – deletes message containing specified address from
# Postfix queue. Matches either sender or recipient address.
#
# Usage: pfdel
#
use strict;
# Change these paths if necessary.
