You could always write a quick script in Perl or some other scripting
language to accomplish what you want if you can get the unwanted addresses
out to a simple text file that the script could read.

If all the subscribers to be deleted have the same hostname and no one
else does, then you could simply do something like:

  quiet del * *@hostname
