[SOLVED] bash script to delete spam with score > $SCORE from pmg

[md@hlrs]

Maybe this is useful for some Admin

#!/bin/bash
# delete all spam with score > $SCORE from pmg

SCORE=20
LOG=/root/scripts/deletion_log.txt

echo "Running at "`date` >>$LOG

# get stuff for the deletion log
pmgsh get /quarantine/spam 2>&1 | grep -v '200 OK' | jq '.[] | select(.spamlevel > '$SCORE') | .subject,.spamlevel'>>$LOG

# list all spam entries, filter by score, extract ID
# this gives a string
IDS=$(pmgsh get /quarantine/spam 2>&1 | grep -v '200 OK' | jq -r '.[] | select(.spamlevel > '$SCORE') | .id')

if [ -z "$IDS" ]; then
  echo "No quarantined mails with spam score > $SCORE." >>$LOG
  exit 0
fi

# convert string to array
arr=($IDS)
# print array elements on one line with separator
VAR=$(printf '%s;' "${arr[@]}");

# delete stuff from pmg with last separator cut from id argument string
pmgsh create /quarantine/content --action delete --id ${VAR::-1} 2>&1 | grep -v '200 OK'
