Set delay_warning_time to 5m or 10m
delay_warning_time (default: 0h)
The time after which the sender receives the message headers of mail that
is still queued.
To enable this feature, specify a non-zero time value (an integral value
plus an optional one-letter suffix that specifies the
time unit).
Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w (weeks). The
default time unit is h (hours).
