So.... I have these delinquent, non-paying customers. What I'd like to do
is hold onto their email until they pay up. Here's what I have:

/etc/postfix/pastdue
sandycat.com hold:

/etc/postfix/main.cf
...
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/pastdue, proxy:mysql:transport
...

Is hold: correct or do I really need to do hold:[gateway.customer.com]? I
believe that the latter is what's in the documentation, but if I just want
it to go right into the "HOLD" queue, why do I need to specify the next hop?
Also, it looks like I need to add a hold entry into master.cf (there is no
hold entry in the default master.cf).

hold unix - - n - - smtp

I'm not totally sure what this line does in master.cf. How does it know to
put the mail in the "HOLD" queue? I guess the answer to that really doesn't
matter, but I ask because I feel like the above line wouldn't be correct for
what I'm trying to do here.

Thanks in advance, guys.

Michael
