# * Set our name (the Debian default seems to be "localhost" but make it our hostname).
# * Set the name of the local machine to localhost, which means xxx@localhost is delivered locally, although we don't use it.
# * Set the SMTP banner (which must have the hostname first, then anything).
# * Set the delay_warning_time to 3 hours to inform users that their e-mail delivery is delayed.
# * The bounce_queue_lifetime refers to MAILER-DAEMON messages. Should be short and has no effect on regular mail.
# * Set maximal_queue_lifetime to 2 days. Server will try to send an undeliverable e-mail for the maximum of 2 days.
# * Inform users when their e-mail delivery is delayed more than 3 hours (default is not to warn).
# * Stop trying to send an undeliverable e-mail after 2 days (instead of 5), and for bounce messages just try for 1 day.
