Deleting Mails From From Mail Queue

[lano]

I'm trying to delete mail by instructions posted here: here (http://www.howtoforge.com/delete-mails-to-or-from-a-specific-email-address-from-postfix-mail-queue)
I get message:
tail: Warning: "+number" syntax is deprecated, please use "-n +number"

OS is Etch

Try
mailq | tail -n +2 | awk 'BEGIN { RS = "" } / falko@example\.com$/ { print $1 }' | tr -d '*!' | postsuper -d -
then.

I didn't get error, but mail queue also wasn't deleted.
postqueue -p shows, that the senders address is www-data@myhost.example.com (3 queues).
Any other idea? :)

Did you use the following command?

mailq | tail -n +2 | awk 'BEGIN { RS = "" } / www-data@myhost\.example\.com$/ { print $1 }' | tr -d '*!' | postsuper -d -

That worked.
Thanks again, Falko.
