The simple way is to use quarantine_entire_message() and then have some
kind of scripts (either command-line or Web-based, depending on your
tastes) that remail the message.  You also need to avoid filtering
anything coming from 127.0.0.1 so you don't re-quarantine the
messages.

If you've used quarantine_entire_message(), the recipe for remailing
it is pretty simple:

	sendmail -odi -f`cat SENDER` `cat RECIPIENTS` < ENTIRE_MESSAGE

from within the quarantine directory.

Hope that gives you enough pointers to start implementing! :-)

David.
