One website was hacked and was being used to send spam emails. Sendmail was making the server to halt because of high load!

After cleaning up the site and installing a Malware detector (maldet) I had to delete the messages from the sendmail queue so the server didnt kept getting a high load.

I created this simple bash script to work it out. Obviously you need to uncomment the rm command to make it work.

#!/bin/bash

ls -1 | while read fn
do
 if grep -E -q "Wrestling|Asian|pharma|sucking|masturbates|bondage|medic|experience|antidote|poison|presence|jerking|blowjob|boobies|mature|teen|loaded|virgin|noblefox.net|dong|hungers|brainwashing|heartfelt|slave|russian|mistress" "$fn"
 then
   if [[ "$fn" != "remove.sh" ]]
   then
     echo "would delete $fn"
     # rm $fn
   fi
 fi
done
