Use the HOLD command to mark as held any messages which should temporarily be placed on "hold". PMDF will not attempt to deliver any messages which are marked as held. To resume processing of a held message, use the RELEASE command. Messages which have been held can be listed with the DIRECTORY/HELD command. The messages to be held are specified by their message identification numbers shown by the most recent DIRECTORY command. That number appears in the leftmost column of the DIRECTORY command listing. Ambiguous message numbers must be qualified by the proper channel name with the /CHANNEL qualifier.
