I run Postfix to handle my personal mail. I also act as a backup MX host for
a friend.
To give him time to return from holiday and fix a broken Postfix installation,
I want to keep messages for the backup domains for up to 21 days. However, I
want undeliverable messages for other domains to be returned to the sender
after 3 days.
I've tried this setup of /etc/postfix/main.cf, but it doesn't do what I want.
If a message can't be delivered to, say some...@example.com, Postfix will
keep trying for 21 days before giving up, and that's a bit long.
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_mx_backup \
reject_unauth_destination
permit_mx_backup_networks = other.com other.org
maximal_queue_lifetime = 21d
bounce_queue_lifetime = 3d
Any suggestions?
(It's Posfix 2.5.1)
Thanks,
Neil.
