Amavis and Postfix VirusMails

I have a postfix server with amavisd and a clamav scanner. I have encountered a situation where clamav has issued false positives and quarantined messages in /var/virusmails/

What is the simplest way of taking these mails and pushing them through the postfix que again. I believe the false positive was temporary and would like to retry sending them.

Is there a postfix que directory I could place the files in?

Thank you.


If your using amavisd-new, you can simply run the amavisd-release command, passing it the quarantine ID of the mail in question. It will take care of removing the email from the quarantine and injecting the email into Postfix, bypassing any content filtering.
