set maximal_queue_lifetime for incoming and outgoing different ?

Hi,

my postfix just relays mails to a Lotus Notes server and the internet.

Internet <-> Postfix <-> Lotus Notes

My maximal_queue_lifetime is set to 2h which works fine. This relatively
small amount is because the users want to know very fast if the mail is
not deliverable. Earlier they sent an offer and received 5 days later,
that it does not work...

But if the Notes Server is down for more than 2h, I would like to store
the mails on my postfix and deliver them later.

Is it possible to set maximal_queue_lifetime for incoming and outgoing
different ?

Another solution could be to set delay_warning_time for 2h and
maximal_queue_lifetime to 1 day. But is it possible to set these
warnings only to mails coming from internal. I do not want to let the
world know that Lotus Notes is down and additionally there might be
problems with mails like no_replydomain.com.
