Never been to TextSnippets before?

Snippets is a public source code repository. Easily build up your personal collection of code snippets, categorize them with tags / keywords, and share them with the world (or not, you can keep them private!)

Clearing out a bunch of spam with spoofed emails that were bounced back to some poor guy with a catchall email (See related posts)

We don't really want to delete them all just in case.

cd /usr/local/scratch/
mkdir junk
find /var/spool/postfix -exec grep "somediscernible-feature.com" '{}' \; | awk '{print($3)}' | xargs -J X mv X ./junk/


The "find" produces

Binary file /var/spool/postfix/active/D/D8832E38 matches
Binary file /var/spool/postfix/active/D/D78EC1C72 matches
Binary file /var/spool/postfix/active/D/D593D279D matches
Binary file /var/spool/postfix/active/D/D0EB32833 matches


The awk

/var/spool/postfix/active/D/D8832E38
/var/spool/postfix/active/D/D78EC1C72
/var/spool/postfix/active/D/D593D279D
/var/spool/postfix/active/D/D0EB32833


And then the mv, moves it.
