mailRemove.py is a program for removing mail from 
a qmail mail spool that contains a pattern.
It was designed to be efficient
in the face of HUGE directories (which would slow
down normal methods significantly).

This is usually desired when bad things happen like:
 + someone had a mail virus and that email is sitting in the queues
 + someone got mail bombed and that email is sitting in the queues
 

To use it, shut down qmail and follow the directions on the
command prompt. After it runs, it will give you a list of 
matches to that pattern or patterns.

*To really move the mail you must use the --real flag* 
Otherwise, the queues are not modified and mail is not
removed.

*It is also best to run this after shutting down qmail*
