This is my final offer:
1) Set up a virtual alias mapping that ADDS an extra recipient
address for each address that suffers delay.
For example:
j...@example.com j...@example.com other...@otherexample.com
2) Do "postsuper -r" for each message.
3) This creates a new queue file WITH BOTH j...@example.com AND
other...@otherexample.com (same message ID header but different
Postfix queue ID) and then deletes the old one.
4) Test it for one message first.
