Hi Valentin,

the undelivered emails were probably not rejected but have piled up in your 
Postfix delivery queue. Postfix will periodically retry to deliver the 
contents of the queue. If the queue grows beyond a given maximum, old messages 
are dropped.

As far as I'm aware, that's the default setting.

On my personal server, I have set up an Icinga check that alerts me via XMPP 
whenever the mail queue exceeds a certain threshold. For obvious reasons, an 
email notification doesn't suffice here... ;-)

Best,
Christoph
