Package: bsd-mailx Version: 8.1.2-0.20111106cvs-1+deb7u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I want to delete all messages received before a date. I allready use this command with redhat to purge mailboxes : echo "d (before 11-Jun-2015)" | mailx It does not seems to work with debian and the command returns "Non-numeric second argument" Is the date format different in debian ? (before date) All messages that were received before date; date must be in the form d[d]-mon-yyyy, where d[d] is the day of the month as one or two digits, mon is the name of the month (one of 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', or 'Dec'), and yyyy is the year as four digits; e.g. "30-Aug-2004". -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bsd-mailx depends on: ii base-files 7.1wheezy8 ii libbsd0 0.4.2-1 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u8 ii liblockfile1 1.09-5 ii postfix [mail-transport-agent] 2.9.6-2 bsd-mailx recommends no packages. bsd-mailx suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
