Extending the retry lifetime in response to more greylisting




Since more and more SMTP servers use greylisting, I’m increasing the lifetime of how long our servers keep trying to resend failed emails.

I’m using this setting:

maximal_queue_lifetime = 7d

I know 7 days is really long, but better safe than sorry.

Here’s a more thorough listing of all the queue lifetime settings from the Postfix documentation.
