Is it possible in postfix to forward messages from the hold queue by referencing to them by their file name?

The best way would be by a terminal command.

Even better would be a python command.

If that's not possible editing the main.cf would be a considered option.

Background:

I have a python script which gives me a dynamic list of filenames of the mails in the hold queue which should be forwarded to a specific address for further examination before being delivered to their final destination.

e.g. of a file list from the hold queue

49C0B406D7

1F3BD40685

9F847406D8

61C63406D6

Just use shell command

postcat -qbh queueid | sendmail -f sender forward_address@example.com
