In the last episode (Mar 23), JJB said:

> Is there a way to clear this email from sendmail?

Sendmail will by default process the mail queue every 30 minutes, I
think, but you can also do it manually with "sendmail -v -q".  queued
mail will expire and be bounced back to the sender after 5 days of
delivery attempts.
