queue issue !

Hi

we have 2 postfix mail relays at the moment. what i want to do is set them
so that if the next hop is not available i want them to queue the mail until
it does become avaialable. at the moment incoming email is relayed to our
internal exchange servers by these relays but if they are not available for
some reason then the postfix servers bounce the mail back with an ndr. any
ideas ??

Per default a message will stay for 5 days in the postfix queue
"deferred". The config parameter is "maximal_queue_lifetime".
See sample-rate.cf for details.
