Reprocessing quarantined messages

[Michael Sauvola]

OK, so using your suggestions, I have a script like this:


MESSAGES= “ qARJ0a8W011130 qARJ0j88K673043 etc...  “

for each message in $MESSAGES
do
    sendmail -toi < /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20121127/${message}/message
done
exit 0

When I run it, I get errors:

line 182: syntax error near unexpected token `message’
line 182: `for each message in $MESSAGES’

Just “ls” the directory, and output it to a text file.  I forget the syntax but you can specify the characters to keep, tossing the rest (date, permissions, etc.) and keeping the filename.  You could then paste that into the script or redirect it in from the cli…

Stephan,

 

You mean I would have to type in all 4046 directories named qARJ0a8W011130, qARJ0j88K673043, etc... for this to work? Yikes!

Michael,

If you are using sendmail,  you could create a script something like:

---------------------cut start -------------------------
!# /bin/bash

MESSAGES="/qARJ0a8W011130
qARJ0j88K673043
qARJ0j88K673043"

for each message in $MESSAGES
do
    sendmail -toi < /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20121127/${message}/message
done

exit 0
--------------------cut end----------------------


Best regards,

Steve

  Hi all,

   

  Due to my own fault, MailScanner put about 16 hours worth of messages (4026) into the quarantine.

   

  message

                                                                              /qARJ0Cr8W02980/message

                                                                              /qARJ0j88K673043/message and so on...

   

  I fixed my goof-up, and mail is now flowing through normally.

   

  How can I re-send/reprocess the 4026 messages through MailScanner?

   

  Mike
