send back to the internal originator with an error message and will be deleted
from the djigzo queue?

Email that cannot be delivered should already be bounced back (with an
undeliverable notice) to the sender after 5 days. The message will also
be removed from the queue. A message will be bounced to the envelope
sender. Is this working differently in your case?

Kind regards,

Martijn

You can change the default value of maximal_queue_lifetime in main.cf
(can be changed using the web admin with MTA -> MTA Config -> MTA raw
config).

Postfix Documentation for maximal_queue_lifetime:

maximal_queue_lifetime (default: 5d)

     The maximal time a message is queued before it is sent back as
undeliverable.

     Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w
(weeks). The default time unit is d (days).

     Specify 0 when mail delivery should be tried only once.

You should be careful not to set it too low. The official Internet specs
says that it should be 5 days.

If you want a different queue lifetime only for warning purposes (to
warn you senders that a message has not been sent yet) it's better to
leave the to the default 5 days and use delay_warning_time.

The Postfix documentation:

delay_warning_time (default: 0h)

     The time after which the sender receives the message headers of
mail that is still queued.

     To enable this feature, specify a non-zero time value (an integral
value plus an optional one-letter suffix that specifies the time unit).

     Time units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), w
(weeks). The default time unit is h (hours).

Once set a warning message is sent to the sender when the message is not
yet sent after the given warning time.
