I am trying to search my email queue for unwanted messages that contain a common text content then delete those email files. To achieve this I am using "grep" combined with "find". The common text is "X-Mailer: popper" and the directory is /var/spool, so the command I used was
rm -i $(grep -r -i \'X-Mailer: popper\' /var/spool)


It finds the files ok, but for each file it returns an error message...[indent]rm: cannot lstat `/var/spool/exim/input/s/1Em6Cs-0000Vk-DP-D:X-Mailer:\': No such file or directory

rm: cannot lstat `popper\': No such file or directory
rm: cannot lstat `/var/spool/exim/input/0/1Em540-0003PZ-Ur-D:X-Mailer:\': No such file or directory
rm: cannot lstat `popper\': No such file or directory
 

[/indent]..and so on for each occurance. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
