Subject: Mass e-mail removal?


Hey all,

A situation receive arose regarding Georgetown University and an 
ill-fated mail message being sent out to the entire university community
in error. In summary, someone sent a message out to the entire student
body which contained sensitive data. As a result of this they took their
mail system down for 14 hours (they use Groupwise) and through a script
of sorts that entered each mailbox and 
removed the message.

I don't know how many people here face situations like this, but I have
been asked if it is possible to have such a procedure in case something
like that were to ever occur here. 

Is there a script/procedure available for doing something like this? 
Is it at all possible, I'm sure it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I don't ever want to take my
system down for 14 hours more or less and have to do this by hand should
it ever occur.

For those of you that would like to read the article, here is the link..

Thanks!
