Hello,

we'd like to have postfix to save outbound mails in a queue and to have
an admin to rewise these mails.
If the admin approve the mails to be send, the mails should be send to
the original destination.
If not, the mails should be bounced to the sender.

Is this possible with postfix.

For me it looks similar to having a virus scanner in the mail delivery path.

Thanks a lot for your ideas!

Greetings
Hans

I honestly can't believe your business is sinking to this level. Why
allow email access for users anyways? It is one thing to store all
outgoing email, but it is another thing to require a review of email
by a manager in order to send email.

Not trying to be anti-productive, but handling this at the SMTP level
is probably not the best. Come up with some other sort of queue where
a manager, or whoever is going to be sending the email can just go in,
review them and have them actually send via SMTP. Write a PHP app to
do it. I just don't think SMTP is the proper place to be handling
this.
