#55 Command line administration tool

[Furious Coder]

Is there a way to manage ASK from a command line
rather than having to manage it through the remote
email capabilities? It is a bit of a hassle to have to send,
receive, and send again to administer the queues,
whitelist, etc. A command line tool to do administration,
if not already available, would be a great addition!

You can edit the lists from a command line.

While you can edit the lists from a command line, it's a bit
trickier to move messages from the queue to your in-box via
the command line.

Using the "ask process queue" email doesn't work for me. My
email address has been public for over 10 years (I've got an e-
commerce site) and I get over 500 pieces of spam every day.
I set-up a cron job to delete any queued messages after 10
days, which means I've got at least 5000 queued messages
at any time.

The email client I like to use (and please don't try to convert
me- I have reasons for using the one I have) does not have a
function for searching within the body of a message. So I
can't "jump" to something I know is there. I have to scroll for
it.

But, rather than a command-line tool, I'd rather see a web-
page tool. But, how to get past the permissions when the
web server isn't the same user as the email owner?

IMP (www.horde.org) is a web-based system that
manipulates email via the IMAP interface. Perhaps something
similar could be done for managing the queue and the lists.
