Oke, that is also the behaviour I was expecting.

So, what will happen in this scenario:

1)
MAIL FROM: <joeexample.com> NOTIFY=FAILURE
delay_warning_time = 4;
message is delayed for more then four hours.

The behavior I expect is that Postfix will not sent an delay message because
'NOTIFY=FAILURE' is specified (sender did not request an delay notification).

2)
MAIL FROM: <joeexample.com> NOTIFY=FAILURE,DELAY
delay_warning_time = 4;
message is delayed for more then four hours.

The behavior I expect is that Postfix will sent an delay message because
'NOTIFY=DELAY' is specified (sender did request an delay notification).

3)
MAIL FROM: <joeexample.com>
delay_warning_time = 4;
message is delayed for more then four hours.

The behavior I expect is that Postfix will sent an delay message because
delay_warning_time = 4;

It is my expectation that Postfix will behave like this, but I would like to
know sure. The documentation
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#delay_warning_time is not very clear
(yet) in respect with the dsn behaviour.
