Troy,
If you have a recent version of amavis, you can use the amavisd-release
script that comes with amavisd-new.
I have a little bash function that does the work:
function requeue {
if [ $# -ne 1 ] ; then
echo 'Usage: requeue <message>'
return 1
fi
/usr/local/sbin/amavisd-release $(basename $1) && mv "$1"
/var/spool/amavis/quarantine/delivered/
}
Alternatively, you can use a simple smtp client such as smtpclient to inject
back into your post-queue smtpd (assuming postfix).
Be sure to read up on the amavisd-release mechanism, and search the archives
for "release" and/or "requeue".
