Look at /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
This line:
dnl define(`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `5d')dnl
could be changed to:
define(`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `3d')dnl
To return mail after 3 days. (The default if not defined is 5 days.)

After editing sendmail.mc, you need to run 
cp /etc/sendmail.cf /etc/sendmail.cf.save
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
service sendmail restart

Hope that helps,
