Messages released from the hold queue are already in the queue and are
not subject to any additional input processing on the same machine.

What happens to them when they are forwarded to another machine is of
course entirely up to the receiving systems.

The HOLD option works very similarly and gives you more explicit control
over the timing of the release.

If you note the queue ids in the SMTP "." responses as you submit the
mail, you have a list of queue ids to release later.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
