[SOLVED] How to delete a specific Emailed Contact?

Hello,

We have automatic addition of email addresses into the Emailed Contacts set up for our users (a required feature). Unfortunately, someone mistyped an email address such that <username>@wrongdomain.com has now virally made its' way into a bunch of our user's address books.

While I have put up an FAQ on our Intranet instructing people how to remove Emailed Contacts, a number of people, including the owners of the company are getting confused and I have been requested to delete the specific contact from everyone's Emailed Contacts.

How do I do that?

The closest I have come up with so far is to run:

zmprov selectMailbox <username>@domain getAllContacts email

which provides a complete dump, but I can't find a way to get the ID of the contact directly from the email address (without writing a parser anyway).

Is there a way to do this easily?

Cheers,
David

You'll need a script to look through that. Try this:

Code:

---

#!/usr/bin/ruby

user = ARGV[0]
bad_email = 'user@domain.com'

data = `zmmailbox  -z -m #{user} gact`
array = data.split('Id: ')
array.each do |item|
        puts 'Id: ' + /\d+/.match(item).to_s if /#{bad_email}/.match(item)
end

---

change the 'bad_email' to match what you need, and pass it the user's email as an argument.

Magic!

That was just what I was after, thanks.

Cheers,
David
