Hi,

I need to test the move of a mailing list to another server.

What I'd like to do is to stop the Postfix server on the new server from
sending out any mails but still put them into the queue.

I could then test the mail list (which actually only has 43 members) and
then see what emails appear in the queue. The I want to be able to
delete all those mails - and then re-enable the Postfix server.

Any pointers gratefully received.

Hiee Kevin

if you set this option - disable_dns_lookups = yes

ur postfix will stop sending mail

but it will continue recieveing mails

whenever you want to send the messages you can comment this line and then
resstart postfix..
it will start delivering

just give a try.

Postfix 2.6 and later:
# postconf -e master_service_disable=qmgr
# postfix reload

Older Postfix:
Comment out the queue manager in master.cf and do "postfix reload".

You didn't say that you want to continue other mail deliveries.
