Here's a vi question.....

how do i delete all lines containing the pattern "abc" (exclude quotes)

is this possible with a single vi command??

I tried using---- > :d/abc

but no luck

why don't you try 'sed /abc/d'

From within the vi editor enter

:g/abc/d

address. It is a mail alias. Once spammed, the alias is deleted, and
the integer 'N' incremented. Currently, mike[43,44] are valid. If
email to mikeN bounces, try mikeN+1.
