I wouldn't call 'awk' dark magic.

The problem with your mechanism is you're grepping for @administrator.com, which can match any part of the line. That is the unsafe part.
If you want a safer, not-so-dark magic, version then split out the bits you want to check, and then check that field. Since awk is out, use another regex check once you've cut it down the the field you care about. To delete messages from "@":
mailq | cut -d\| -f1,5 | grep '|@$' | cut -d\| -f1 | xargs …
Note in building these pipelines, it's good to check each step as you to to ensure you're doing the right thing. :-)
