The machine runs ntpd continuously, so I *think* the clock won't go backwards. The maximal_queue_lifetime setting is not in my postconf -n output, so the default of 5 days is likely. I do not have long queue ids turned on. Is it still safe to wait a month and then wipe out any files in the spool older than 30 days? Thanks, Shawn
