Postfix: priority on delivery based on sender


Hi All,
After many years of working with Sendmail, I recently went to work with Postfix.
Sometimes it is hard to find the functions I used before, like "queuegroups".
With queuegroups I was able to set priority on, or slow down, the delivery of email based on

- sender domain,
- sender email address,
- recipient domain,
- recipient email address
- sender email address if email addressed to a specific recipient email address

In the meantime I learned that Postfix does not share queues by design, so there has to be another way of prioritizing or slowing down email based on sender.
Although this example shows a very nice slow transport configuration, it can only work with "destination" parameter:
http://riseuplabs.org/grimoire/mail/...ted-transport/

Are there any other possibilities to prioritize email based on sender (or origins), apart from setting up a dedicated Postfix instance?

Thanks, C

You could probably use one of the relay transport options for this. Perhaps sender_dependent_relayhost_maps, and then use the same type of mechanism you posted the link to for the transport mechanism.

Thanks for your support.

Cheers, Q
