[vchkpw] Clear mailbox
Hello, In the process to install a new qmail/vpopmail server, I have a problem with some mail that arrives before any spam filter is installed. There is a lot of mailboxes and in each I can see some mail. I check some of them : it's only spam. # l /var/lib/vpopmail/domains/domain/user/Maildir/new/ 1079125101.15754.domain,S=339 1079377059.25707.domain,S=338 1079445378.1694.domain,S=861 1079445647.2649.domain,S=881 1079457438.27107.domain,S=1963 I'm looking for a way to erase these mails before I give my users access to this server. I can telnet on localhost:110 and use dele for each account but it will be a long task, boring. Is there another way ? Can I remove the files with 'rm' without problem ? Thanks for your help (and sorry for my poor english), -- Patrick

Delete the maildir file as well and it will be recreated.
