Mail Queue timeouts

[Lauchlin Wilkinson <lauchlin_lists@intas.net.au>]

Hi,

what are peoples thoughts on the length of time mail should sit in the 
mail queue?  Due to the rise in the amount of spam and viruses that 
seems to be going around lately I throttled back the delivery warning 
back to 30 minutes and the delivery failure back to 12 hours.  My logic 
is that most people these days expect e-mail to be pretty instant so to 
have mail sitting in a queue for 7 days and not getting a warning for 
several hours seems a bit old fashioned.   So far 12 hours and 30 
minutes seems to be working well.  What are other people doing?

Cheers,
