it seems any message has a maximum time where it can stay in any queue :

snoopy # > ./imsimta cache -view
channel : ims-ms
file name : /mail/messaging/msg-snoopy/imta/queue/ims ms/019/ZY0H570020BLZVD0.00
subdirectory : 19
enqueue time : 7-Nov-2002 15:09:32.00
last delivery attempt : 7-Nov-2002 15:09:32.00
processing priority : 1
destination system : ims-ms
recipient count : 1
message size : 3529 (kbytes)
owner : mailserv
expiration date : 21-Nov-2002 15:09:32.00

this would mean the message will be rejected when it's expiration time has come, ignoring the fact that it maybe should stay any longer due to some overquota retention policy.

I have put a retention time of 30 days for any message if it can't be delivered to an overquota user. When the message is spooled to an overquota user, i effectively receive some notification mail saying that it will try for another 28 days, then one week later, another mail saying it will try for another 21 days.

However, after 14 days, the mail gets rejected, with a message "manually aborted by postmaster"

i suspect this comes from this "expiration date". (it's too much a coincidence)

The question is : where can i change this expiration date (which seems to be set when the mail is enqueued for the first time) to reflect my retention policy of 30 days ?

Thanks
