Put this sufficiently early in your routers (before the routers which
deliver to internal hosts):

too_old:
driver = manualroute
condition = ${if > {$message_age}{86400}{yes}{no}}
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * your.host.name

If you tune the message age to something suitable short, then anything
which doesn't deliver immediately will be punted on the next queue run.
You can also fiddle with conditions to ensure it's only for local
domains, for example.

Simples!
