Here's my suggestion:
- Create a second Postfix instance in the same file-system.
- Run a cron job to move (rename(2)) messages from the HOLD queue
of the main instance into the deferred queue of the second instance,
carefully respecting the hash_depth of each directory.
- In the second instance, deliver all mail via a suitable daemonized
SMTP server or via pipe(8) script. The daemon or script will be
the entry point into a quarantine system that eventualy expires
unclaimed mail, generates reports and allows other administrative
or user actions as you see fit.
This means that "FILTER transport:nexthop" is perhaps a better choice than
"HOLD", but milters may not be able to express this action...
I am not aware of an open-source quarantine add-on for Postfix.
