As root:
sendmail -bp
sendmail -v -q

The first lists the Q contents. The second sends it.
Also, create a test file:
[summer dugong ~]$ cat >testmail
to: john test lan
subject: nosense

No sense in this:-))

[summer dugong ~]$ /usr/sbin/sendmail-t <testmail -v
bash: /usr/sbin/sendmail-t: No such file or directory # Whoops
[summer dugong ~]$ /usr/sbin/sendmail -t <testmail -v
