Yes, because it is implemented in the queue manager which is a long-running process. If you use defer_transports to freeze mail deliveries, then some messages may get close to the bounce_queue_lifetime, meaning that Postfix will try to deliver them only once. To avoid that, use "postsuper -r ALL" to create new queue files.
