Good day, everyone!

Could someone help me to find a way to delete message with certain id from all users's mailboxes?

What seems to be a problem:

I have configured exim + dovecot lmtp

I got a long list of aliases in BD in form of: +----------+-------------------------------------+ |alias_name recipients | (for example) -----------|-------------------------------------+ | list_a | user1@example.org,user2@example.org | +----------|-------------------------------------+

When I send a message to that list_a, user1 and user2 get the mail and I see this in log: Dec 6 12:12:27 beta-mail dovecot: lmtp(16419, user1@example.org): copy from INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=1, msgid=E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail, size=570 Dec 6 12:12:27 beta-mail dovecot: lmtp(16419, user1@example.org): oCOXKmAkoVIjQAAA635u4w: msgid=E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail: from=root@beta-mail: subj=: saved mail to INBOX Dec 6 12:12:27 beta-mail dovecot: lmtp(16419, user2@example.org): copy from INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=1, msgid=E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail, size=570 Dec 6 12:12:27 beta-mail dovecot: lmtp(16419, user2@example.org): oCOXKmAkoVIjQAAA635u4w: msgid=E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail: from=root@beta-mail: subj=: saved mail to INBOX

Is it possible to delete these letters with known msgid=E1VojxY-0004Gl-Gu@beta-mail from all users mailboxes with couple of simple commands ?

How do I do it currently:

in exim's log I get mailaddress of a user, get into his mailbox (wich cd), find the letter I need, with ls -i I get inode, search (with find) through all users mails and delete all files with that inode, then I have to rebuild dovecot indexes with doveadm mailbox status -A -t all INBOX
