Forward messages from inbox

Hi

is there a way to spit existing mails back to postfix
with an external target address?

i am dreaming of a table "msg_id, target_address" which would
be enumerated from time to time and after the mail is forwarded
remove the entry from this "todo-list"

the reason behind are some since years ignored mailboxes
where i have valid target at gmx for the users and before
replacing their physical account with a forwarder spit
all the 500 mails to their gmx-address since some of
the users are not responsible :-(

The best way will be using sieve if I'm not wrong.

afaik sieve does not touch existing mails
my problem is that some accounts are orphaned and i want to get
rid of the messages in a way that two weeks alter nobody can say
"why you deleted my mails?"

Harry,

You can also use dbmail-export.

dbmail-export -d -u orphaned-user -m orphaned-mailbox

will export and delete all messages in specified mailbox.

Re: Forward messages from inbox [In reply to]

Another option would be something external like fetchmail - it can check
a specific IMAP folder and send the mail out via smtp.
