Subject: "resubmission" feature
From: Lutz Vieweg (lkvisg.de)

Hi,

many people here would like a "resubmission" feature for
the mail-server: E.g., you receive a mail from somebody
which you know will become important in a few days. You
could just forward the mail to e.g.
"2000-07-12#mynamemydomain.org" and the mail-server would
establish a cron-job to send the mail to you again, then.

Questions:

- Has somebody already implemented something like this?

- If not - do you've got ideas/hints for me how to implement
  this? Especially: What format would you propose for the
  "special" address, and what would have to be done to
  make such an add-on available to other postfix-users as well?

- How would one make such a feature "safe", that is, make sure
  only the user itself or one of a selected IP-pool could trigger
  such "resubmissions"?

Regards,

Lutz Vieweg
