Actually, we are passing all the external messages to MessageLabs from
now on, so the tweak. Before that we set ignore_bounce_errors_after=7d
and ignore_bounce_errors_after=2d. Now it seems such long values are
unnecessary since were are acting as an intermediate gateways.

There's no right answer; it depends entirely on your
situation and use-cases.

Traditionally MTAs try for a lot longer than two days before
giving up, but if you don't care that much about mail getting
through, well...
