Re: AW: Fun and profit with mailq

A cleaner solution for queueing messages is putting them on a disabled smtp service, but the OP meant how to HOLD them.

Look at the ACCESS readme for examples.

Don´t know what exactly you are trying to do, but to monitor the queue, I use postqueue -j (for json).
Forcing some messages to remain in the queue is easy: just define a transport policy like dane-only for a destination that does not support dane.

On a related question, is there a way to tell postfix "put all outbound mail into the hold queue" so I can test some of this?

I know postsuper -h ALL will put all messages currently in the queue on hold for a few minutes? queue_run_delay looked promising, but it only applies once a message is already in the queue.

It'd ne great if I could just hold every message and then let it clear on the queue_run_delay=60 interval for testing. No one is even going to notice 1 minute in the queue.
