Deleting mail from sendmail server as an administrator

mandla_nib · 10-07-2011, 01:11 AM

We are using sendmail RHEL4 server for our organisation.
In our server we have not defined quota system for our users. Now files such as INBOX.Trash, INBOX.Sent, INBOX..... of different users become very big sizes.
Can I delete these mails from sendmail server directly as an administrator without logging as an indivisual user for each user.
Pls help

thanks with regards

You can access their INBOX from command line

Just go to their home folder where you can find all the mails of that user

like for mine it is in

Code:

#vim /home/user1/mail/INBOX.Sent
(and delete the mails)
