Postfix Queue Filter

Postfix Queue Filter is a Ruby script to search and possibly delete messages in Postfix mail queue. It’s useful for example if an automatic procedure mistakenly sent a lot of emails and you want to get rid of them.

Arguments are the strings (default behaviour) or regular expressions (-r option) to be matched against enqueued message headers. All arguments must match for the message to be selected (AND logic).

-h option shows all of the headers of matched messages

-d option deletes matched messages from mail queue

Usage example:

Search for messages from [email protected] to [email protected] and show all headers, to be sure you are going to delete the right messages:

postfix_queue_filter.rb -h 'From: [email protected]' 'To: [email protected]'

Delete those messages:

postfix_queue_filter.rb -d 'From: [email protected]' 'To: [email protected]'
