Hi

I want delete only messages from the mailq that are in the format :

Firstname_lastname@domain.com

all the others are fine.
 
Unfortunately, I don't know of any easy way to do what you are after.

This will likely take a multistep process. First, you would need to list the queue to identify the messages. Use a tool of choice (e.g. SED, AWK, GREP) to pattern match the ones in the right format and then extract the Postfix ID (AWK) and create a list. Use the list to call postsuper on to delete the messages from the queue.
