Commands to delete all messages containing string... obviously
these commands are EXTREMELY dangerous, in both cases the list is
generated to a file, which you can then examine and check that it
only contains the 'problem' messages and nothing else :-)
DOUBLE CHECK the file before running the command to actually
delete the files :-)

# Windows
cd \surgemail\mbox
findstr /s /m "THINGTOFIND" u* >delete.txt
(examine delete.txt)
for /f %i in (delete.txt) do del %i
# Linux
find /var/surgemail/DOMAINPATH -name "u*" -print | xargs grep -l
"THINGTOFIND" | awk '{print "rm \x22"$1"\x22" }' > doit.sh
more doit.sh # // check the files are correct, examine them!!!
ONLY ONCE YOU ARE CERTAIN!!!! source doit.sh

HI all,
We had a phishing message delivered to a
bunch of mailboxes that made it past our spam filters. Is
there a tellmail command that will let me scan all mailboxes
and delete a message from a sender?
Thanks
