cd /var/spool/mqueue/
ls -la
You should see some files listed.
Stop sendmail
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
more filenames and pickout what you want and then move them out of there ..
mv letter /somewhere/safe
Open the files with a text editor like pico, or notepad and send the info
away
RESTART Sendmail
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start
