Since you are going to restart the daemon anyway, you could also do
queue_only = true
and restart without the -q15m (or whatever time you use), so no queue
runners are started. This is a bit more to do, but is more efficient,
since it won't even start to deliver messages. With hold_domains, it
starts the delivery, and checks every recipient to see if it is held or
not.
But what the heck, you probably won't be able to tell the difference.
