While this does not help you, I also experienced this problem when a client my server is a gateway for lost their phone lines and internet connection over a weekend. Queue Manager retry timer was set for 30 minutes and SMTP tries before returning to sender was 96. We started seeing bounce/returns after 12 hours.
This is on Imail 8.12.
