I hope you stopped MailScanner (or at least postfix) before doing
that... The reason to use the hold queue is that the only other
processes that ever operates on it is manually calling postsuper... so
(since there is no locking) to ensure that the one doesn't interfere
with the other (postsuper and MailScanner) you need stop MailScanner
first... and (for some other reasons) postfix itself. And I suppose
you checked that there was no _other_ incoming mail in hold before
clearing it?
