Or this for spaces on either, or both side(s) of the delimiter
Code:
 sed -e 's/| \| |\| | /|/g' data

Non POSIX might need this
Code:
sed -e 's/| /|/g;s/ | //g;s/ |/|/g' data

mlmmj-bounce(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   mlmmj-bounce(1)

NAME
mlmmj-bounce - bounce handling utility for mlmmj SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-bounce -L /path/to/list [-a john=doe.org | -d] [-n num | -p] -a: Address string that bounces -d: Parse the mail to extract the address via the DSN (RFC1891) -h: This help -L: Full path to list directory -n: Message number in the archive that bounced -p: Send out a probe -V: Print version DESCRIPTION
mlmmj-bounce is used to handle mails that are bouncing. When a mail arrives to the system, mlmmj-bounce will register in <list- dir>/bounce/<addrstring> info about which number that bounced at what time. An example of such a line could be: 109:1094409801 # Sun Sep 5 20:43:21 2004 The above shows that message number 109 bounced 1094409801 seconds after epoch which is in human date stamps is Sunday September 5th 20:43:21 2004. The last bounce mail received to the address is saved in <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.lastmsg. When the -p option is used it sends out a probe email including info that it's a bounce probe and a list of the bounced message numbers. The existance of a <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.probe file indicates that a probe have been sent out. AUTHORS
