If you want to adjust how long postfix will hold a piece of undeliverable mail in its queue, just adjust bounce_queue_lifetime. This variable is normally set to five days by default, but you can adjust it to any amount that you wish. You can set the value to zero, but that will cause e-mails that cannot be immediately sent to be rejected to their senders.
