qmail delay

Hello,
I'm noticing that if a mail cannot be delivered in the queue, it takes seven days before qmail responds back to the user of the problem. How do I shorten that time?

Thanks,
Wally
 
If you create a file called:

/var/qmail/control/queuelifetime

You can enter the number of seconds you want messages to stay in the queue, then a blank line afterwards, save it and restart qmail.

The default is 604800 seconds = 7 days. You could try something like 259200 for 3 days, or whatever you desire. You can use "man qmail-control" for help with the options, then search the net for what each control file does.
