You can run the queue manually with sendmail -q.  You don't normally
need to be root for that.  You can also get them to run the queue for,
say, sender lemis.de with 

  sendmail -qSlemis.de

Similarly, you can run for recipient freebsd.org with

  sendmail -qRfreebsd.org

Are you running FreeBSD?  What price can you offer me for an ISDN
connect?
