The way I would do it is to re-mail it with Sendmail in
deferred mode, using a special config file which puts it in a special
holding queue.  A manual queue run will clear that queue.  (You return
action_discard() after the message is successfully resent.)

For source code, see the resend_message_specifying_mode() function
in mimedefang.pl.  A slight modification of that function to use
a custom Sendmail config file will do the trick.
