We're trying to delete 80% or 90% of the emails from a ~200k message queue. Ideally, we would be able to select the messages using regex.

I can see the messages in the queue folder, but just deleting the files seems dangerous.

Are there any utilities or established patterns for doing this?

There is no built in way. You can google for qmail-delete or a tool like
