-b

Bounce all of the messages specified by source. The messages will be bounced immediately. No attempt will be made to deliver the messages.

-d

Delete all of the messages specified by source.

-e perl_expression

Evalute perl_expression for each queue file as specified by source. If perl_expression evaluates to true, then that queue file is moved. See below for more detail on perl_expression.

-s seconds

Move only the queue files specified by source that have a modification time older than seconds.

You can use any valid perl expression. Inside the expression you have access to a hash that contains many of the fields in the control file as well as some other data about that queued message. The hash is called %msg. If a field has multiple values (e.g. 'Recipient'), it will be returned as an array, otherwise it will be returned as a scalar. Through %msg, you can access the following variables:

auth

AUTH= parameter.

body_type

body_last_mod_time
