JF,
I just had to deal with the same problem. It was a dictionary spam is what
somebody called it. On my server, they where in the remote outgoing queue,
but I believe the fix is the same. Keep in mind, I had never worked with
python, and the little script was a python script. Luckily, my server
already had python installed. The non-existant documentation meant I had to
trial and error this, but here is a summary of what I did.
Go to this location, and get this script onto your server, I put mine in
/var/qmail/bin.
http://www.redwoodsoft.com/~dru/programs/mailRemove.py
Make it executable. chmod +x mailRemove.py
Create the directory filter under qmail/queue. Mine was like this
mkdir /var/qmail/queue/filter
Next run the script in a test-only mode. You can CTRL-C out of it.
python mailRemove.py [search-string]
Since all my spam flood was from [EMAIL PROTECTED] my command looked like
this,
python mailRemove.py registrar
If this runs, then you can do this for real. It moves the spam into the
filter directory. I halted both qmail-send and smtp before doing this. Like
this.
python mailRemove.py --real registrar
I had 28000 spams, and it took about 5 hours to remove 18000 of these. This
server was only a 486/100, 32meg ram. Hopefully it will be lots faster on
a better machine.
While I am here, I wish to thank Mark and Markus for your help yesterday
regarding my problem.
Sam
