I’ve recently begun using the ‘hold’ queue, because of a milter that I
use. A milter may ‘quarantine’ a message, which causes the message to be
placed in the ‘hold’ queue (eg OpenDMARC does this when the DMARC policy
requests quarantine).
But how does one manage that queue? I know that
postqueue/postsuper/postcat exist, but it seems like a lot of work to
periodically (daily, weekly?) inspect each message in that queue and
deal with them one by one? Do people actually use quarantine/on-hold,
and if so how do you manage your queue?
I sometimes use the pfqueue tool. http://pfqueue.sourceforge.net/
Mostly I just avoid putting things on hold unless I'm investigating
something specific.
It's better to tag-and-deliver suspected spam and let the recipient
deal with it. Either sort it into a spam folder or tag the subject
somehow.
