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?
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.

That is working lovely - thankyou for the extra bit of explanation it
now makes sense
