Hello, I need a simple shell or perl script that can delete bounced eMails in a mailbox. The server is running Centos OS 5.6 and eMails are located at: /home/email/webp5p/Maildir/cur While webp5p is the name of the mailbox. Message files inside of the folder are named like the following: [login to view URL] The script should search within the message text for certain criteria and if there is a match the message should be deleted. Examples: 1) Script should search for "hotmail" and "temporary" and all messages including these both keywords should be removed. 2) Script should search for "block list" and all messages including this keyword will get deleted. There are a total of 4 task the script should perform to clean up the maildir from bounced eMail messages once per day at a certain time. I can setup a cronjob to execute the script. I don't know what works best, it's up to you if it's a PHP, Perl or Shell Script. Thanks!

Dear Sir, dear madam, my name is Wolfgang Backhaus, I am an experienced software developer and system engineer from Germany, working in the telecommunications industry for more than 15 years. For a long time I worked in a DevOps environment, starting long before the term was coined. With the operating system being a UNIX flavour and my favourite programming language being Perl I solved a lot of tasks like the one You offer, i.e, file and text manipulation. With the client's needs on my mind I will do my best to fulfill her/his assignment in an optimum manner. Therefor I think I am the ideal candidate for this project and it would give me great pleasure if You would give the award to me. Best regards Wolfgang Backhaus

It seems like a easily doable task and I'd prefer to go with shell scripting. If there are more complicated patterns that You need then I might consider some other language as well.
