Hi list, i'm looking for a bit of help,
I use one of my postfix boxes as a sort-of smart host relay. One of the
destinations is currently unreachable as an IP connection is down and
will be fixed in the next few days. In the meantime I would like to
keep the mail queuing up for the domain (currently set to 10days), but
send a copy of the queuing mail to an alternative email address.
Do "postsuper -r" for each message, after setting up a virtual
alias mapping that adds the extra recipient address. This creates
a new queue file (same message ID header but different Postfix
queue ID) and then deletes the old one.
Try it out on a test message before munging all the mail.

That is nearly doing want I want. As I know the original destination
will be up again soon, can I keep the current mail queue whilst sending
'copies' to the alias?
ie
re-queue existing mail but don't delete the original
Any new mail for this destination gets queued for original destination
and sent the alias
The final destination of the alias is a IMAP box available to user via a
webmail account - They can keep an eye on the mail that is queuing up
and when the connection is back up any queued mail will deliver as normal
Maybe i thinking about this the wrong way round.
