I am runnig posfix on Centos 4.4 as a Mailgateway. It only accepts mails for domains and then forwards mails to Lotus domino Server.

All clients sends outgoing mails to that Lotus domino Server. Then , That Lotus Domino Server sends mails to Postfix mailgateway. This postfix mailgateway sends mails to all the destinations. But, This Postfix mailgateway has about 150 messages in the mailq. Some are unwanted mails. I think they keep trying until 5 days old. I want decrease it to ONE DAY.




In Sendmail, this can be done by editing sendmail.mc* as below.


(`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `5d')dnl

changing above line to below line

(`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `1d')dnl



How Can I do it in Postfix?


ANY IDEA?




O Timeout.queuereturn=5d

It should be one of these:

bounce_queue_lifetime = 1d
maximal_queue_lifetime = 1d

Hi,* Thanks for your quick answer.

I think it is

maximal_queue_lifetime = 1d

I got it from below URLs.


http://www.postfix.org/rate.html
maximal_queue_lifetime (default: 5 days) How
long a message stays in the queue before it is sent back as
undeliverable. Specify 0 for mail that should be returned
immediately after the first unsuccessful delivery attempt

Ok

All clients sends outgoing mails to that Lotus domino Server. Then ,
That Lotus Domino Server sends mails to Postfix mailgateway. This
postfix mailgateway sends mails to all the destinations. But, This
Postfix mailgateway has about 150 messages in the mailq. Some are

These messages are not harmfull, and you should keep your setting to 5
days. You'll thank you when your domino server stops accepting messages
for some reasons for 25 hours or more... it can happen...

do not accept mail to inexistent addresses. implement proper recipient
validation. if you can't share the list of users with postfix, then use
reject_unverified_recipient (only for recipients of your domains).

accept then bounce (backscatter) is no more acceptable.
