Nope, When Postfix has accepted a mail its already in your queue. At that point the maximal_queue_lifetime starts. # postconf maximal_queue_lifetime maximal_queue_lifetime = 5d In that time, the mails that can not be scanned are merely deferred. After the maximal_queue_lifetime the mails will be bounced as undeliverable. If delay_warning_time is set though, Postfix may send delivery status notifications (DSN) and warn the sender that a mail could not be sent yet. This only applies to more recent versions of Postfix that support DSN (starting from version 2.3). In the meantime, your log will fill with timeouts. There are a lot of options to set timeouts that fit your situation: postconf -d| grep timeout connection_cache_protocol_timeout = 5s daemon_timeout = 18000s ipc_timeout = 3600s lmtp_connect_timeout = 0s lmtp_data_done_timeout = 600s lmtp_data_init_timeout = 120s lmtp_data_xfer_timeout = 180s lmtp_lhlo_timeout = 300s lmtp_mail_timeout = 300s lmtp_quit_timeout = 300s lmtp_rcpt_timeout = 300s lmtp_rset_timeout = 20s lmtp_starttls_timeout = 300s lmtp_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s lmtp_xforward_timeout = 300s milter_command_timeout = 30s milter_connect_timeout = 30s milter_content_timeout = 300s qmqpd_timeout = 300s smtp_connect_timeout = 30s smtp_data_done_timeout = 600s smtp_data_init_timeout = 120s smtp_data_xfer_timeout = 180s smtp_helo_timeout = 300s smtp_mail_timeout = 300s smtp_quit_timeout = 300s smtp_rcpt_timeout = 300s smtp_rset_timeout = 20s smtp_starttls_timeout = 300s smtp_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s smtp_xforward_timeout = 300s smtpd_policy_service_timeout = 100s smtpd_proxy_timeout = 100s smtpd_starttls_timeout = 300s smtpd_timeout = 300s smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s trigger_timeout = 10s -- Sandy List replies only please!
