With my setup no warning is deferred errors such as 'time out' or

I added:
delay_warning_time = 8h
to main.cf. This made no difference so I assume an additional setting is
required, but I could not find anything.
This setting only affects *new* messages. Messages already in the queue
will not elicit the warning. There's a queue-file record for that...
I'm sorry I was not clear. New messages do not get the warning.
This is a FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p7. postfix 3.6.2_1
Postfix does not immediately send "delayed mail" warnings as soon
as a message exceeds the warning time limit. That would not scale.
Instead, Postfix attempts to deliver a message, and when that attempt
fails, it sends a "delayed mail" warning message once.
Thank you. If I understand your answer, I do not think that is what I am
seeing. What is happening is an email that gets a 'time out' or some such
will continuusly give deferred messages for five days and then, if I let
things go that long, remove the email and send the bounce message.
A crrent example follows. I rotate logs daily so this gives a daily count
of the number of messages.
