i'd say 100d is overkill. think about it, a message 3 months old
sitting in the queue ? even if it's a backup mx for some fixed-ip
dialup where the primary mx points to that - it just sounds insane.
i'd advise 1 months or the like..

almost equally good... you don't have to restart the daemon (only
rebuild the db of course) if you're storing it outside the cf.

don't set them local_domain
