I want to remove files but only if they are owned by a certain user

Basically I have this:
find /var/spool/greylist -mmin +363 -exec rm -f {} \;
I want to make sure it only deletes files owned by mail. Basically no
matter what weird characters are in the file names I want to make sure
it does not delete anything outside of /var/spool/greylist. I can add
'sudo -u' to it but then my secure log gets filled with entries but
perhaps thats the only way to do it.
find /var/spool/greylist -mmin +363 -mindepth 1 -depth -user mail - group <whatever> -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f
if you want to make sure you only hit files, and not directories, do this:
find /var/spool/greylist -mmin +363 -mindepth 1 -depth -user mail - group <whatever> -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f
to be extra safe, and preview what files will be deleted first:find /var/spool/greylist -mmin +363 -mindepth 1 -depth -user mail - group <whatever> -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ls -al
