Only "postsuper -r" moves mail back into the "maildrop" queue for pickup(8). Perhaps you meant that, and if so indeed it could loop, but if the system only accepts mail from outside via SMTP and there is no reason to virus scan the maildrop queue, you can specify an alternate cleanup service for pickup(8) with different header checks. > 2) postsuper -H doesn't work either. False. That's how you do it. This moves mail to "deferred" whence it is delivered without further content checks. -- Viktor.

Let's suppose I have: header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/rejectedmails Content of regexp:/etc/postfix/rejectedmails: /^Subject: Virus$/HOLD Virus containing mail So every mail matching "Virus" on its subject is placed on Hold. Now let's suppose I want to deliver one of mails because it's harmless. 1) postsuper -h doesn't work because it would be delivered again to pickup and again filtered by header_checks, so it would be placed on Hold again. 2) postsuper -H doesn't work either. So how can I deliver one of those mails placed on the hold queue? Thanx a lot! Nicolás

The original msgs were in inbound deferred. These msgs we movedto HOLD until we got the mailserver up. thanks Len

Move one message with the named queue ID from the named mail queue(s) (default: incoming, active and deferred) to the hold queue. If a queue_id of - is specified, the program reads queue IDs from standard input. Specify "-h ALL" to hold all messages; for example, specify "-h ALL deferred" to hold all mail in the deferred queue. As a safety measure, the word ALL must be specified in upper case. Regards Angsgar Wiechers -- "Abstractions save us time working, but they don't save us time learning." --Joel Spolsky
