Re: Putting delivered mail back in the queue

Yes.  You can re-queue messages the same way they were queued in the first
place (via qmail-inject, qmail-queue, etc).  Note that you have to reconstruct
the original envelope manually.

It's easy enough to read, but I'm not much for unixy stuff, so when it says it takes the message from descriptor 0 and the envelope from descriptor 1, I don't have a clue what that means!

You could use qmail-queue to do this; the messages would be routed/delivered
according to the envelope you supply to qmail-queue, without changing any of
the header fields, etc.

that would be ideal.

There are examples of doing this in the qmail list archives, but it's not
difficult to read the qmail-queue manpage either.

Well, examples are what I need, unfortunately my attempts at searching the archives of this particular list always fail miserably.  I just spend about 15 minutes searching various keywords and can't find anything.

In the meantime.. this seems to work better than my previous attempt, which caused my email to go out to *ALL* header recipients instead of just myself!

cat mailfile | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -A -f rick@webworksllc.com rick@webworksllc.com

That will actually work as well as anything, because google ignores the date/time stamp when sorting messages, they're actually sorted by the time they were received, regardless of the datetime stamp... the datetime information is still shown properly.
