What about using the "leave" command in route.cfg to not touch those messages, 
or let binkley or any other mailer see them until zmh?

For example:  My feed is not available via pots mailer certain hours of the 
day. I use the leave command to hide mail destined for his system from the 
mailer until such time as he's up and running again.

Also, my system polls our zc twice daily for files and mail.  YEt even if I 
have routed mail which goes through her system I don't want it tying up her 
system during zmh. SHe might have files on hold for me, and I'd just as soon 
not have her pots line tied up sending them then.  Hence, I "leave" mail 
destined to her system, which is all interzone netmail etc.

Immediately after zmh I use "unleave" to process that mail and let my mailer 
see it.

Just "leave" mail destined to your routing target for all interzone mail until 
zmh.  OR use the all and world wildcards.  FOr example, during other periods of 
the day you could leave all mail not for your zone as follows:

leave 1:all 2:all 4:all 5:all

Then during zmh:

unleave 1:all 2:all 4:all 5:all

THis way you can view them in whatever manner you usually use.

Hope that helps.
