SOLVED Count total number of emails in queue with a specific subject line?

[000]

Hello.

I only find

exiqgrep -i |awk '{ print "exim -Mvh "$1 }' |sh |grep -i 'here subject EXACT'

but please, how I can count the number of emails in queue with "*some string in subject*" ??

After of I know the number total, then I want please the line/command to remove this emails in queue filtering by "*some string in subject*", no by "*some string in BODY*" in body.

is possible?


Thanks

I guess this should work to get what you are expecting here:

- To get the count of emails in queue with a specific subject:

exiqgrep -i | awk '{print "exim -Mvh "$1}' | sh | grep "Subject:" | awk -F"Subject:" '{print $2}' | grep -c "STRING YOU WISH TO MATCH"

- To remove the emails matches with a subject from queue:

grep -lri "STRING YOU WISH TO MATCH" /var/spool/exim/ | grep input | cut -d"/" -f7 | awk -F"-" '{print $1"-"$2"-"$3}' | uniq -c | awk '{print $2}' | xargs exim -Mrm
