Yup. If you look at the code in jsm/modules/mod_offline.c, you'll see a
simple calculation:

expire = j_atoi(xmlnode_get_attrib(x,"seconds"),0);                             stored = j_atoi(xmlnode_get_attrib(x,"stored"),now);
diff = now - stored;
if(diff >= expire)
{
    log_debug(ZONE,"dropping expired message %s",xmlnode2str(cur));
    xmlnode_hide(cur);
    continue;
}
  
So in this case, the JSM will drop the message rather than deliver
it when the recipient comes online.
