I asked a similar question, and Jason M. was kind enough to write me a
little script that would allow me to retest messages that were in my
pending queue. I modified it only slightly, to move the messages into a
backup directory as I was going along. So for this to work you need to
have a directory ~/.tmda/pending/bak/
Anyway, this is it. As with any script, make sure you have some idea
what's going on; it's not my or Jason's fault if your computer implodes;
etc.
#!/bin/sh
#USAGE:
#When you find a message in your pending queue and
#want to create a rule that will apply to it, create
#the rule and then run this script to test it.
cd ~/.tmda/pending/
#use each .msg as input to sendmail.
#extract the Return-Path and use it as the sender
#mail it off to $USER (yourself)
#move the original pending message to bak
for i in *.msg; do
/usr/sbin/sendmail -f `cat $i | formail -x Return-Path | sed 's/[<>]//g;s/^[ ]*//'`
${USER} < $i;
/bin/mv $i bak/
done

Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please
don't email me directly. I will most likely see your post before I read
your mail, anyway.
