Hello everyone,
my question arose because of a user on my server who sent to many
recipients without MX, then the mail was queued until the expiration time:
bounce_queue_lifetime = 5h
the idea was to reject emails manually with the error message that returned:
Example:
│Message: 06CB318005A26 │
│From..: "Rene Alvarado" <renealvar...@estudiorom.com.ar> │
│To....: <i...@impresosms.com> │
│Subj..: SALDO PENDIENTE │
│Status: connect to impresosms.com[45.204.127.107]:25: No route to host
Regards,

But it would be REALLY usefull feature, i was searching for such thing
some time ago too.
Why? Someone was drunk and sent a bad email? Is "postsuper -d" not
sufficient?
Wietse
Use case: Users are sending undeliverable e-mails which are filling up
mail queue and you must wait few days until they are bounced. You
cannot simply delete them because, if you do, sender won't know it's
undeliverable and will send something to that address again in the
future.
