Ok, I think I understand. What is happening is that emails that were
already sent with your previous setup, even years are go, are being
retrieved, and postfix wants to send them again. Right…
Ok, you are doing it wrong, I think. These emails should not pass via
postfix at all.
The way to do it, I think, is to setup a local storage, like a dovecot
imap server, and then use one of many tools out there to sync imap
servers (I use “imapsync”, but my needs are small). It reads from an
imap server, and writes all the folders and posts, unmodified, on the
target imap server. Postfix is not involved, so there is no possible
attempt to resend them again.
If you do not want to use a local imap server, then you have to do with
other means. Perhaps fetching with “fetchmail”, but not forwarding with
local smtp server, but directly to folders. You would probably have to
script it, if you have several folders and users.

Well, the proper command is “postsuper -d queue_id”, but of course, you
have to get the IDs of those emails first, and I guess there are a lot
of them.

This looks like a bounce message for an email that can not be delivered,
itself being impossible to send.
Which in your case was fortunate, or those year old sent emails would
have been sent again 
Well, I see two issues. One, is getting those many emails on the ISP (if
I understood correctly) to local storage. For this, as I said, I would
setup a local storage with an imap server (dovecot, courier…), and
then copy them over. This is independent of postfix.
If your emails are still on the ISP server, I would do this part again.
Another task is setting up postfix, and whatever more is needed, so that
you can receive and send email properly. And of course, you have to test
it, to see that it works, before attempting a massive fetch

That is indeed strange. Well, you will probably have to edit that manually.

Have a look at the “/etc/postfix/master.cf” file with an editor…

Well, they are wrong, yes. Really important or not, I don’t know yet.
If you are using ldap, I have to tell you that I’m not familiar with
that beast, though…
