what's the general expectation people have on timeouts for stamping processes? The reason I'm asking is that the default timeouts for postfix post queuing filters is 600 seconds. Now, the way I figure it, that's 10 stamps. So I'm thinking of putting the timeout value at somewhere between a day and a week. I would love to know where other people would place the limits at?

I think I need a bit more context than that. Why would a process need to hang around that long?
