Can I use procmail to comb thought sendmail's mqueue and delete queued
emails with specific subject: or from: lines?
I think you should examing your mail queue and note the file syntax.
You _could_ externally process the mail queue with a script, but that won't
have procmail invoked as the messages are submitted to the queue (and thus,
cannot delete the messages as they arrive - you could only scan the
contents periodically via a cron-invoked process, or manually). You'd need
a wrapper script for procmail to glob the directory and invoke procmail
with each mail queue file in turn.
Sendmail has MILTER support, you could investigate that (that wouldn't have
the same overhead of launching an external program). Otherwise, if you
sort out how to invoke procmail from within the queue submission, please do
share.
