No, sorry, there's not a whole lot that can be easily done here. I guess
I could tack the time onto the end of the message id when it is used
inside MailScanner, just for Postfix. Then I could remove the timestamp
again when the message is written into the outgoing queue (the
"requeueing" code will probably do thay anyway).

It would have to be a small custom patch just for you, so some payment
would be appreciated if that's possible.

The pigs are taxi-ing to the end of the runway as I type...

Interestingly I don't think it has come up before.
