This is a copy of http://serverfault.com/q/589762/31784 , which I posted 
a month ago.  I've got no answer there, so I'll repeat the question here.

-----

I have a customer that wants me to deliver email on their behalf. The 
customer wishes for our MTA (Courier) to stop attempting delivery and 
bounce an email after one day. I am to deliver to the customer a report 
of those bounces. By setting each email's "return-path" header field, I 
will cause those bounces to land in a specific mailbox. I will then 
write a program to process those bounces and generate the report.

The customer understands that once the email leaves our MTA, we no 
longer have control of whether or when it will bounce. They are OK with 
that. They just want our MTA to bounce an email after a day of being 
unable to pass it on.

According to the courier man page, the control file queuetime tells 
courier how long to retry before bouncing a message.  This is a global 
configuration that affects all mail delivered by Courier, but I don't 
want to make all mails bounce after a day. I just want to make some 
mails bounce after a day.

I think this can be done by using a separate instance of Courier, just 
for delivering that customer's email, but I don't want another instance 
of Courier to maintain and monitor.

Are there any X-Headers or other mechanisms through which I can cause 
Courier to have a custom queuetime for some emails, such that those 
emails will bounce after one day?
