Postfix default of the maximum queue lifetime is 5 days: 
https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#maximal_queue_lifetime
One month is very long, but I usually see systems to retry for at least three 
days to cover outages of MTAs that cannot be solved within a few hours or for 
example happen on a weekend. Not all MTAs are run by enterprises with 24/7 
staff availability.
