pmx-qsearch - Wrapper for pmx-store
pmx-qsearch [options]
The pmx-qsearch tool invokes pmx-store search to perform a search
of the PureMessage quarantine. The pmx-qsearch command is a convenient
wrapper for pmx-store that offers options for searching the quarantine.
Although it is possible to search the quarantine with pmx-store, the pmx-qsearch
tool allows you to do so using much more concise commands. For example,
C<pmx-qsearch foo bar>
is the equivalent of
C<pmx-store --class=PureMessage::Quarantine search foo bar>
The pmx-qsearch options are identical to those for pmx-store
search. See the pmx-store manpage for details.
The following are examples of how pmx-qsearch can be used:
pmx-qsearch --fields 'id, c_to, c_subject_body_utf8' \
--where 'id between 1024 and 1050'
pmx-qsearch --fields 'id, m_spam_probability' --delimiter ' ' \
--where 'm_spam_probability > 0.8' \
--order-by m_spam_probability
This example combines pmx-qsearch with pmx-quarantine to remove all unwanted
messages from the quarantine:
pmx-qsearch --fields id --delim ' ' \
--where 'm_spam_probability > 0.8' >spam-ids.txt
pmx-quarantine trash `cat spam-ids.txt`
