I have added support for a "hold" queue. Fragments of manual pages
are below. Expect a new experimental release a week or so after
USENIX Security.

NAME
sendmail - Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface
...
mailq List the mail queue. Each entry shows the queue
file ID, message size, arrival time, sender, and
the recipients that still need to be delivered.
...
The queue ID string is followed by an
optional status character:
* The message is in the active queue, i.e. the
message is selected for delivery.
! The message is in the hold queue, i.e. no
further delivery attempt will be made until
the mail is taken off hold.
NAME
postsuper - Postfix superintendent
SYNOPSIS
postsuper [-psv] [-d queue_id] [-h queue_id] [-H queue_id]
[-r queue_id] [directory ...]
...
-h queue_id
Put mail "on hold" so that no attempt is made to
deliver it. Move one message with the named queue
ID from the named mail queue(s) (default: incoming,
active and deferred) to the hold queue. If a
queue_id of - is specified, the program reads queue
IDs from standard input.
Specify -d ALL to hold all messages; for example,
specify -h ALL deferred to hold mail in the
deferred queue. As a safety measure, the word ALL
must be specified in upper case.
Note: mail that is put "on hold" will not expire.
-H queue_id
Release mail that was put "on hold". Move one mes-
sage with the named queue ID from the named mail
queue(s) (default: hold) to the deferred queue. If
a queue_id of - is specified, the program reads
queue IDs from standard input.
Specify -H ALL to release all mail that is "on
hold". As a safety measure, the word ALL must be
specified in upper case.
