Ever had some alerting software spam your production mail queue with 1000’s of alerts?
And you dont want to delete every message individually…

Here is the solution to delete all messages destined for user@example.com:

mailq | tail -n +2 | grep -v '^ *(' | 
gawk 'BEGIN {RS = ""} /user@example.com/ {print $1}' | 
tr -d '*!' | postsuper -d - 

Thanks to http://www.keithscode.com for that one!

This was a tricky one. I kept getting alerts for:

-----BEGIN MESSAGE-----
[2012-07-09T23:40:37+1000] server8.somedomain.com
CRIT   :  [2012-07-09T23:40:34+1000] msg=<POLICY NODIRECTORY>, path=</var/log>
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
EA6AB852FD5E03118A95B8507E514F264CCFE3CC35E3330F
000154 1340761939::server8.somedomain.com
-----END MESSAGE-----

And for the life of me wasn’t sure why but after reading the source code the cause is explained:

{ MSG_FI_NODIR, N_("File found where directory was expected"), IDMEF_IMPACT_TYPE_FILE },

And you know what it was correct! /var/log was a softlink to /data/logs!
