man sendmail:

       -q[time]
              Process saved messages in the queue at given intervals.  If time
              is omitted, process the queue once. 

Looks like there is no default (maybe your OS uses some startup
command with a "default" retry time).

If you want a non-linear retry:

      MaxQueueAge=age
                If this is set to a value greater than zero,
                entries in the queue will be retried  during
                a  queue  run  only  if the individual retry
                time has been reached which is  doubled  for
                each  attempt.   The  maximum  retry time is
                limited by the specified value.
