I have exchanged mail between you and me awhile back when I was on the
procmail list. I have a question here, wondering if procmail can handle
this: 
 
Yes, procmail can handle it.  It's not even that difficult.
Repeat this question on the procmail mailinglist.

---------------------
I would appreciate deeply if anyone of you know if there is such
script which will hold off all the incoming mail from a
certain "From:" address sent to a user between 10:00 PM to 7:30 AM
(next day) and resend them back to the same user next day at 7:31 AM.
with original mail headers intact.

Bascically here's the flow:

If From="john(_dot_)doe(_at_)pizza(_dot_)com" and $TIME is between 10:00 PM 
and 7:30 AM,
 mv ~/mail/pending/mail.1 ~/mail/pending/mail.1+1      
 Save newmail to ~/mail/pending/mail.1
endif

Next I'll have another script which runs in cron, and looks for the 
existence of the ~/mail/pending/mail.* and resends them back to the 
$USER one by one till each of 'em is delivered when $TIME = 7:31 AM


Cheers...
