Reprocessing quarantined messages

[Denis Beauchemin]

What Richard suggests is close to what I would do :
cd /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
find . -name '[dq]*' -print0 | xargs -0 -I "{}" cp {} /var/spool/mqueue.in

This would work for messages "Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files" for sendmail.

Hi Mike,

Why do you just go into the directory and put it in a while loop?

Make a temp directory first 

mkdir /tmp/sometempdir

cd /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20121127/

ls | while read myfiles ; do cp $myfiles/* /tmp/sometempdir ; done

Then cd into the /tmp/sometempdir and check the messages are all in there. Then just copy them to your incoming queue, so cp * /var/spool/mqueue.in/

Hi all,
 
Due to my own fault, MailScanner put about 16 hours worth of messages (4026) into the quarantine.
 
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20121127/qARJ0a8W011130/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
