From my earlier message, i quote:

Though this might not be very clear, i did check my timeout_frozen_ and
ignore_bounce_errors_after settings. They are:
| ignore_bounce_errors_after = 2h
| timeout_frozen_after = 7d
But please note that these messages aren't frozen. They keep receiving
'4xx Try Again Later' from the remote mailservers, so they should hit
the retry rule timeout which is:
| * * F,4h,5m; F,16h,30m; F,7d,3h
7d at max. I'm sorry for not indicating that clearly ;)
Kind regards,
Sander.
