Hi all
I am working on setting our own mail server . At the time being, we use opensuse 12.3_64. Postfix has been set up by yast mail server module, no outgoing mails, local delivery to maildir (at the moment at least).
I know, I should have been more cautous about this and finally better have used a tool like imapoffline to get the mails from our ISP. However while messimg around, in an uncontrolled moment (phone call, then coffee break :-)), I let postfix running and it fetched all mails from my ISP. The inbound mails (sent from external source to our users) could be delivered to the users maildirs. We can live with that at the moment. What is disturbing, is that all outbound mails (mails our users sent to external destinations) are held in the deferred queue. Using all sorts of grepping we can filter message id's as to find what a relevant message and through postcat -q ID we can see it's content. But on the long run that cannot be the solution.
Is there a way that we can bring postfix to reque the deferred formerly outbound messages to the users maildir?
To get it more clear:
Assume I got a mail from soccer@fiva.org (inbound message) to me@mydomian. Then I replied to it (outbound message). During my coffe break postfix fetched the inbound message, gave it an ID of F19BA60116E and was able to dump it in my maildir. Also during my coffe break postfix fetched my answer, from me@mydomian to soccer@fiva.org gave it an ID of A1C19601164. Now A1C19601164 dumps araound in deferred queue or will be resent to soccer@fiva.org (how embarassing, given some mails are several years old). So I would love to be able to get postfix to dump A1C19601164 in my maildir. How can I do that?
