Any pointers? I am new to Linux and got thrown into the List admin 
role by saying I was interested in learning Linux :-)

I had kind of though that it would be something along these lines, 
but wasn't sure.

I guess I need to re-phrase the question properly :(

How would I parse the mbox file to remove anything older than XX from 
it so I can regenerate the archives?

If someone has something like this I could look at I'd be ever so 
greatful, or at least some pointers to the shell commands that I'd 
need to look at to start on parsing the file.

Thanks very much for patience with a newbie.
