Hi Noel,

As for queue lifetime, that server is just a spam remover, it is not being
used for sending mail, so it do not have a real queue. It receives email
from outside, filters it and relays to the real server inside.

Well, concurrency limit is high because I do not have that big experience
with postfix, and did not get any helping configuring mine except what I
could get from Internet.

Many many thanks!
