[Mailman-Users] Is There a list member limitation?

[Goodman, William]

We have a very busy mail server so I set it to 4 hours, when I used the 
default we had a mailq of over 200 everyday which slowed our
performance.
So it will keep trying to send it for 4 hours then it gets bounced.

Uh no, the message below is a deferral. Postfix keeps retrying until it 
times out at which point is bounced. How long until it times out is a
site 
configurable length of time (default five days, I think).
