<DIV><SPAN class=352231520-11042007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I cant
see the fact that you are using a hold queue being a problem. Once the mail has
been requeued back into the normal incoming queue then postfix should follow its
normal delivery methods including transport maps if you have them
defined.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=352231520-11042007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I dont
know how you would stop mail for a particular user though. Perhaps you can
configure a seaprate hold queue and move mails from there to the regular hold
queue when you want them scanned and released? I dont know if this is
possible.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

discussion<BR><B>Subject:</B> OT : alternative to postfix hold queue as it's
used by mailscanner<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hello,<BR><BR>I posted this question a
week ago on postfix's newsgroup alt.comp.mail.postfix but got no answer.
I apologize for being a bit off topic but I thought maybe someone would be
able to help me on this list as my need is a bit related with mailscanner
works with postfix. <BR><BR>Here's what I sent :<BR><BR>I'm using postfix
associated with mailscanner. When a mail arrives, postfix puts it in the hold
queue, then mailscanner takes it, scans it and moves it the incoming queue.
<BR><BR>Now, I'm planning to migrate the imap backend to another, beginning
with some users (there will be a transport table to handle presence of both
imap servers). <BR><BR>I'd like to run this process : <BR><BR>1) Put mails for
user foo in some hold queue <BR>2) use imapsync to transfer imap data to the
new backend <BR>3) set up a transport table with special mention for user foo
<BR>4) release mails from the hold queue for user foo <BR><BR>Mailscanner
using postfix's hold queue, I'm affraid I won't be able to use it? Do you know
an alternative I could use ? <BR><BR>Thanks in advance, <BR clear=all><BR>--
