Folks, We had to restore a mailing list (mailman) from an old backup. This means it included hundreds of now-invalid email addresses.
As such, I set up mailmain to remove addresses on the first b0unce, and set up postfix to b0unce outgoing messages on the first refusal (I thought). The way I did this was to set: b0unce_queue_lifetime=0. I checked postconf -n, and the variable is set to 0. However, I'm noticing that postfix seems to be completely ignoring this setting. B0unces stay in the mailqueue for days, and that in turn bloats the processes postfix needs to run. How do I get postfix to b0unce all nondeliverable emails *immediately*? (please excuse the "b0unce", but I had to make it past the list filters, which consider the regular word to be an admin command) -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
