I am unable to change maximal_queue_lifetime = 5 to 2 hours.

bach:/home/akaplan# postconf | grep lifetime
maximal_queue_lifetime = 5

I want to reduce to two hours similiar to my other IMGate box.

imgate1# postconf | grep lifetime
maximal_queue_lifetime = 7200s


I copied the following line "maximal_queue_lifetime = 7200s" and added it to
my main.cf on "bach" It was added towards the bottom of main.cf. There was
no other reference to "maximal_queue_lifetime " If I reload and run:

bach:/home/akaplan# postconf | grep lifetime
maximal_queue_lifetime = 7200s

However the number of mail in the queue increases. Once I remove the line
the number of queued mail drops.

Logs show the following. What am I doing wrong.


1   bad numerical configuration: maximal_queue_lifetime = 7200s
  smtp (total: 2)
