Extract senders and receivers email addresses from my server

[psytanium]

Hi,

Is it possible to extract any email address used in my VPS server, senders and recipients ?

This way maybe I can create a list of emails to use for my marketing campaigns created with Mailchimp.

Thanks

There must be a command to query and extract addresses from logs

You would most likely want to query the exim logs for this data I used the following successfully:

grep -i -o '[A-Z0-9._%+-]\[email protected][A-Z0-9.-]\+\.[A-Z]\{2,4\}' /var/log/exim_mainlog

Thank you for the query.
But I think the command extracted only the outgoing emails, because almost all emails belong to users on my server. is there a way extract global addresses ? incoming is more important.

Thanks

Hello @psytanium

This is definitely pulling incoming and outgoing mail I confirmed this on my own server by pulling a few of the addresses I didn't recognize out and searching through the exim logs for them.
