Full Discussion: AIX Delete all mbox content
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers AIX Delete all mbox content Post 303041401 by rbatte1 on Friday 22nd of November 2019 10:23:56 AM

Incoming mail I presume as opposed to emptying the outgoing queue? This seems a bit harsh, but on AIX I think you could search down /var/spool/mail and /usr/spool/mail for a file named for the user you want to purge the mail for. Just delete the file.



I hope that this helps,
Robin

NAME
git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program SYNOPSIS
git mailsplit [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] [--keep-cr] -o<directory> [--] [(<mbox>|<Maildir>)...] DESCRIPTION
Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" .. in the specified directory so you can process them further from there. Important Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output patches in the correct order. OPTIONS
<mbox> Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from the standard input. <Maildir> Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp and new subdirectories. -o<directory> Directory in which to place the individual messages. -b If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a single mail message instead of signaling error. -d<prec> Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros, different precision can be specified for the generated filenames. -f<nn> Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified, start the numbering with 0004. --keep-cr Do not remove from lines ending with .
