approxiately 10000 - 150000 remote SMTP messages a day. What sort of
retry times shoudl I be setting to keep the queue to a minimum? Also, I
have been running sperate queue runners every hour or so. Is this worth
doing, or would it be better (from a ssystem load point of view) just to
set shorter retry times?


The only way messages get retried is via queue runners. They don't
automatically spring into life when the retry time is reached. So
setting shorter retry times may have zero effect. We tend to start queue
runners ever 15 minutes.
