fix

Use the /maxdeferhours-xx switch in the GWIA.CFG, where xx is the number of hours. This tells GWIA how long to retry messages from the DEFER directory. If no switch is found the default is the 4 days(96 hours) that we did in the past. If set to 0, then GWIA will immediately send an undeliverable back to the sender on any 4xx error condition, like 450 host down.
NOTE: This setting is only available in GroupWise 6 SP 1 and later.
