# Mail Deleter # Mail Deleter
Recently, I had a spammer spamming over atleast 1k emails with the same exact text. I decided manual deletion is literally impossible. Filtering mails that come through different mail ids or from ids that also carry valuable info, can be hard
This script might be helpful for others who are hopeless due to such a spam! This simple program deletes mail based on all the info the `Show Original` section of your mail shows. You can choose the mailing list, or any parameter there and add it to `patterns.txt` before executing
You can add as many patterns as you wish, and all of these patterns are parsed as regex patterns, so feel free to do that as well.
Just insert your email id, password (for gmail you need to see the comment), in the respective places Required variables:
And let it run! `IMAP_DOMAIN`: IMAP Server Domain
`IMAP_PORT`: IMAP Server Port
`IMAP_USERNAME`: IMAP Authentication Username
`IMAP_PASSWORD`: IMAP Authentication Password
