damn. thats it. Thank you Motty! I just forgot that after re-queue it has wait $maximal_queue_lifetime in queue.
Changed it for testing to 1m and mails were gone with non-delivery notification to sender. Thank you!

I'm not sure if I understand you questions correctly. have you try re-queue the email with the following command: postsuper -r ALL depending on your OS, I used FreeBSD it would usually be here: /var/spool/postfix/deferred/ Thanks, Motty On 12/21/2017 12:06 PM, Stefan Bauer wrote: Dear Users, i changed maximal_queue_lifetime from 5d to 1h but mails already in queue are not affected by this change.
