Hello,

I have a number of messages in my deferred queue that are destined for an offsite alias, which is currently unreachable. I have changed the alias to point to a local mailbox so the mail can be retrieved by the owner. New messages sent to this alias are delivered as expected to this new mailbox.

However, if I 'postsuper -r <queueid>' one of the deferred messages, it is re-queued to go to the old offsite destination. I was expecting it to
re-resolve the alias, and send the message to the new mailbox.
postsuper(1) says that when I re-queue a message with the -r option:

  The  message is subjected again to mail address rewriting
  and substitution.  This is useful when rewriting rules or
  virtual mappings have changed.

Obviously I am doing something wrong here.  How can I re-queue these
deferred messages so they are sent to the new destination instead of the
old one?

It is again subjected to rewriting, but the input to the rewrite is the
output of the previous rewrites.

Thank you for the informative reply.  I understand the problem now.

Is there a reasonable way to get the destination of these stuck messages changed?

        - H
