[rt-users] Automatically Deleting Ticket Attachments Matching Name

[Nathan Baker]

Have you tried something like this:

rt-shredder --plugin 'Attachments=limit,1000;files_only,1;file,smime.p7s'

That should delete only attachments with the name you mentioned, and will
limit it to 1000 attachments which you can adjust.
