Yes, I have successfully in the past used a command line like:

cat /var/spool/username | formail -ds | sendmail -t

cat reads the spool file, that is then piped into formail - which with
the -ds parameters just splits the spool file up in the individual
messages. These messages are then piped into sendmail, which with the -t
parameter handles "raw" mail.

I hope I got all the options right, as I haven't tested it right now.
