This may seem like an odd question, but I need to find a way to

As it stands now, I use maildrop as my delivery transport for
virtual mailboxes.
Is there a way to tell postfix to hold the mail in its queue until
I tell it I'm ready?
I've used a pretty simple trick of putting the domain in the
header_checks.regexp file.
header_checks.regexp
/^To: ....@example.com/ HOLD

nice trick! - thanks!

Is this as simple as having maildrop return a temporary failure
code? and if that happens, postfix will retry at certain intervals
(or on postqueue -f) right? And if that is a good way to do it,
what return code should maildrop return?
Or is there a better way?
Thank you!
