brainfold:

First, my habitual reminder: Please use code tags! It's really easy: <c>Code goes here</c> see? This is what your post could look like with them:

my $match = ".*weekly message.*"; my $t_subject = $self->TicketObj->Subject; if ( $t_subject !~ /$match/i ) { return 0; } else { return 1; } my $newqueue = "To be deleted"; my $T_Obj = $self->TicketObj; $RT::Logger->info("Auto assign ticket #". $T_Obj->id ." to queue #". $ +newqueue ); my ($status, $msg) = $T_Obj->SetQueue($newqueue); unless ($status) { $RT::Logger->warning("unable to set new queue: $msg"); return undef; } return 1;

Anyway, I just wanted to mention that if you're not using the beginning of line (^) or end of line ($) anchors, your use of .* is irrelevant.

And now, on to yur question. I interpret it to mean "OK, now that I've identified which EMails I need to delete, how do I do it automatically?" If that's the correct question, then I'd have to reply with: What package/module are you using to talk with your EMail queue? It may have the methods you want. I'm nearly certain that if your EMail server provides IMAP that there's a module that will let you delete individual messages.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Update: I see that you're using code tags properly later in the thread. Did you know that since you're logged in you can go back and update a post? That way, when you do something like figure out how code tags work, or want to improve a question to get better responses, you can do so.
