Y'know, I hate sendmail. :)

You're trying to solve the problem of how you can get that mail
_somewhere_ so you can subsequently act on it, but I really want
to understand why it's broken for you in the first place...

Do you have any sendmail processes running at all?

  ps auxww | grep sendmail

I'm looking at other threads that discuss this sort of stuff.

Try running this:

  sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m

I'm winging it, here...
