Dear List,
For the parameters maximal_queue_lifetime? and bounce_queue_lifetime
default values are 5d (5 days).? Due to overquota, the mail remains in
the
queue for 5 days.? Is there a way by which a sender can be notified that
mail has not yet been delivered to the recipient, and it will be retried
for few more days for delivery?
Is setting delay_warning_time the correct solution?
Yes. The default message looks like:
From: MAILER-DAEMON (Mail Delivery System)
Subject: Delayed Mail (still being retried)
This is the mail system at host $myhostname.
####################################################################

Your message could not be delivered for more than
$delay_warning_time_hours hour(s).
It will be retried until it is $maximal_queue_lifetime_days day(s)
old.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.

These messages are based on templates as described in the bounce(5)
