While producing a postconf(5) raw data file I came across this
little jewel:

    #DEFINE dont_remove
    The dont_remove parameter is a debugging aid. When enabled, Postfix
    does not delete queue files but rather saves them in the "saved"
    mail queue.

    This feature can also be used to archive all mail. To recover
    the envelope information and content, use the postcat(1) command.

I added this feature to Postfix as a safety net before I started
using it myself after four months into the project. This feature
never was removed, and may actually be useful for some people.

It's finally being documented.
