Could
try cutting the retry time in half, either that or see if your gateway has the
option of disabling NDR's. That used to kill my old M$ setup before I went
to Imail, the queue would get backed up and hold up legit email. What
software are you running on your gateway?

Subject: [IMail Forum] Messages waiting in retry queueMy question today is not application specific. We have in and outbound gateway servers cleaning mail before it gets to our mailbox servers. The outbound servers have almost 200,000 messages sitting in the retry queue (2 days). We receive about 300,000 inbound daily. Most of this appears to be spam messages that got past the inbound gateway servers and is being bounced due to:
Did not reach the following recipients
Out of office message
Other?I would very much like to not send (or try for 2 days) these messages. How can I filter on my outbound gateway server to drop these? I need to send legitimate bounces (recipient not found) and out of office messages.
Happy Holidays,
Paul
