Hello,
one of our systems features an ever-growing list of deferred messages.
Undeliverable mail remains in the queue, and is being retried, seemingly
without end.
Ouch.
Doing a "postcat" on one of the messages, I found this:
[...]
*** MESSAGE CONTENTS /var/spool/postfix/deferred/9/98D2E8AC4B5 ***
Received: by myhostname.domain.tld (Postfix, from userid 51)
id 451628AC19A; Sun, 14 Oct 2012 04:51:58 +0200 (CEST)
Received: by myhostname.domain.tld (Postfix, from userid 51)

id B65C48AC224; Fri, 12 Oct 2012 04:18:31 +0200 (CEST)
[...]
And then I found a cronjob which (among other things) issues a
"postsuper -r ALL".
Can it be that the messages never grow old because they are being
requeued every 24h?
regards,
Schnobs
