That's a really good argument for using different tools to achieve
different results.

Yes, the major issue is the non-deliverable bounces that are forwarded from
their mail servers after 3 attempts. Unfortunately, since I'm not able to
monitor the status of their mail servers and I don't always have access to
my servers (on an airplane, at a fire, etc.) I have to leave the queue
or the outbound, which is
what I'll probably end up doing in the long term.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I have yet to see a situation where a client is better-served by
having mail backed up for 5 days awaiting action than by having their
correspondents know
retried 240 times. Is there another, simpler method I can use to
selectively force messages in the queue to be returned for delivery failure?
I suppose every mail admin has worked through this. Here's my read, and
tactic. The context is that
1) users send mail expectating it to be delivered
I run my IMail server with a very high number (240 with a 30 minute Queue
Timer) of attempts before returning mail to the sender. This is done to
allow for extended outages at servers that I provide mail relay services
for. I also provide mail forwarding services for some of these clients and,
