Question AWK and mailq
I need a simple script to parse the output of the mailq command and find emails from overseas addresses and delete them (ie user@xxx.co.uk, user@xxx.yyy.jp).

I found something close:

mailq | tail +2 | awk 'BEGIN { RS = "" } / *.co.uk / {print $1} ' | tr -d '*!' | postsuper -d -

but I can't quite figure out the wildcard syntax.

I'd be happy with the proper syntax or a better method overall. Smilie

Code:
awk 'BEGIN { RS = "" } /.co.uk/ {print $1} '

Too easy to be true... thanks... I might follow up with an additional question. Smilie
