Good day, everyone!

Could someone help me to find a way to delete message with certain id from all 
users's mailboxes?

What seems to be a problem:

I have configured exim + dovecot lmtp

I got a long list of aliases in BD in form of:
+----------+-------------------------------------+
|alias_name     recipients                           | (for example)
-----------|-------------------------------------+
| list_a   | [email protected],[email protected] |
+----------|-------------------------------------+

When I send a message to that list_a, user1 and user2 get the mail and I see 
this in log:
Dec  6 12:12:27 beta-mail dovecot: lmtp(16419, [email protected]): copy from 
INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=1, msgid=<E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail>, size=570
Dec  6 12:12:27 beta-mail dovecot: lmtp(16419, [email protected]): 
oCOXKmAkoVIjQAAA635u4w: msgid=<E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail>: 
from=root@beta-mail: subj=: saved mail to INBOX
Dec  6 12:12:27 beta-mail dovecot: lmtp(16419, [email protected]): copy from 
INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=1, msgid=<E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail>, size=570
Dec  6 12:12:27 beta-mail dovecot: lmtp(16419, [email protected]): 
oCOXKmAkoVIjQAAA635u4w: msgid=<E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail>: 
from=root@beta-mail: subj=: saved mail to INBOX

Is it possible to delete these letters with known 
msgid=<E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail> from all users mailboxes with couple of 
simple commands ?

How do I do it currently:

in exim's log I get mailaddress of a user,
get into his mailbox (wich cd),
find the letter I need,
with ls -i I get inode,
search (with find) through all users mails and delete all files with that inode,
then I have to rebuild dovecot indexes with doveadm mailbox status -A -t all 
INBOX
