Hi,
I have a situation where my primary/final MX server will be down for
an indefinite period of time, possibly up to a week. During that time
I would like to have the secondary MX server to keep every message
queued, and keep on retrying, without ever "timing out" and without
sending any "undeliverable" notifications to the sender.
does it really have to be indefinite or would the following setting (on
the 2ndary MX) be sufficient?
maximal_queue_lifetime = 30d
See http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#maximal_queue_lifetime for
more information.
That looks exactly like what I need. Thanks for the pointer.
