My goal is to temporarily delay all message delivery to that particular Maildir while my utility function is running. Can I do this more simply than the way I guessed, above?

An "| exit 75" in a .courier file temporarily suspends mail delivery to the account.

Of course, ~/.courier should be updated atomically, such as:

cp ~/.courier ~/.courier.bak echo "| exit 75" >~/.courier.new mv ~/.courier.new ~/.courier

When you're done:

mv ~/.courier.bak ~/.courier

If no .courier used to exist, just 'rm' the temporary one.

Of course, you will need to factor in any default delivery instructions set via DEFAULTDELIVERY, or the authentication module, but that's the basic idea.

Thanks. This is easier than I thought.
