Having a large queue is much preferable than having corrupt mailboxes 
due to hard quotas and having to delete mail by hand for the users from 
their tempdrop.
As for the mail bouncing, if a system has some bad MTA/LDA, a lot of 
mail would bounce anyway, since the spool gets locked anyway with the 
current implementation (for less time though). The mail should stay on 
queue.
