How do I use wildcards with qmhandle

  • 772

I would like to use qmhandle to delete messages based on text in the middle of one of the selectors. For example:

qmhandle -Sfailure*

will remove all messages where the subject STARTS with "failure". However, if I want to remove all messages with a Subject that CONTAINS "notice" I cannot find a way to do it.

qmhandle -S*notice*

does not work.

Is there a way to use leading wildcards with qmhandle?

    Use quotes. Working examples:

    ./qmHandle -S"failure notice"
./qmHandle -S"notice"
./qmHandle -S"Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender"

  -Stext : delete all messages that have/contain text as Subject

    You dont need * by default it search for substring.
