Mail Queue timeouts

2003-10-22 Thread Lauchlin Wilkinson
most people these days expect e-mail to be pretty instant so to have mail sitting in a queue for 7 days and not getting a warning for several hours seems a bit old fashioned. So far 12 hours and 30 minutes seems to be working well. What are other people doing? Cheers, Lauchlin Wilkinson

Re: Mail server
