Are we to assume you/your users have lost some of your mails and want
hem back? One can actually use MailScanner to do the job... Just plop
the relevant messages back into the hold queue and MS should start
working on them.

With some special attention, perhaps using the MCP feature with an
altered subject (so that it matches what you want), and some temporary
MCP rules, one might even get the "entire package", so to speak:-).
