[Bug 1329561] [NEW] postsuper manual needs update

 

Public bug reported:

In the url
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/postsuper.1.html in
section

--------
               mailq | tail +2 | grep -v ’^ *(’ | awk  ´BEGIN { RS = "" }
                  # $7=sender, $8=recipient1, $9=recipient2
                  { if ($8 == "user@xxxxxxxxxxx" && $9 == "")
                        print $1 }
              ´ | tr -d ’*!’ | postsuper -d -
----------
Need to be change as it is not working in ubuntu.

A better approach is to use the code I wrote below for removing mails
from one user:

-----------
mailq | grep ^[A-Z\|0-9] | grep "user@xxxxxxxxxxx" | awk '{print $1}' | postsuper -d -
-------------
