Hello,

Can anyone explain me how can i make QMAIL to send Mailer-Daemon
within 24 hrs. (for being in queue) instead of waiting for 7 days.

TIA

man qmail-send
You are looking for ``queuelifetime''.

(Funny is, people start calling bounce messages "Mailer-Daemon" (yes,
that's where they come from, not what they _are_) all over the place -
one german ISP even has in its FAQ the equivalent to "what do I do if
I got a Mailer-Daemon". Rumor says, one person even called an exorcist.
How good that qmail programs have such a polite QSMBF. :)

It's pretty easy.  You just read the qmail-send man page and look for
queue lifetime.  In general, all qmail configuration files are
explained in the qmail-control man page.
