I realize it's not my problem. And the fact is that I really don't have control over the end-users' email servers either. So there's nothing I can do about it from the end of the server that is causing the problem. However if there is a way that I can actually manipulate the behavior a bit on my end (my postfix spam filter/relay), then I'd like to.
Do you know of any way that we can modify the maximal_queue_lifetime just for 1 recipient domain name?
