If I'm reading this right, I *think* you can just set your postfix
gateway to hold all mails by adding "static:HOLD" to the TOP of your
smtpd_sender_restrictions:

smtpd_sender_restrictions = static:HOLD, blah, blah

Then once your mailbox server is back up, comment out that line and then
issue

postsuper -r ALL

?
