Ah. Well I did not mean to suggest the milter should "manage" the postfix queue at all, but could alter any "directive" as to disposition. The log messages I noticed, for "infected" mail (/var/log/mail) seem to suggest postifix was dealing with these in a way "directed" by the milter.
Yes, milters tell the MTA what they think should be done with the message: - Known good - you should really accept this message - Unknown - let something else decide - Known bad - you should really reject this message - hold / quarantine - let something else review messages laterBut that's just what the milter thinks of the message. The MTA is ultimately what decides what to do with the message, often influenced by milters / RBLs / etc.
Perhaps these are "distinctions without a difference" brought about my own, limited familiarity with the tech and terms.
Think about it this way. The MTA is the bouncer at the entrance to a club called "The Mail Server" -- I hear Sim City style cheering for the Mayor's house. -- and the bouncer reads from a list to see who is allowed in or not. The milter will assess something about the person(s) requesting entry and scribble a note on the list the bouncer (the MTA) reads in near real time. The MTA (the bouncer) does the enforcement. The milter (management) updates the list.
Thanks agian
