It purges the host status database, which basically records which
hosts have been unreachable recently. See section 2.4 of the Operation
Guide (op.ps) for more details.

It doesn't cause any damage. In the worst case, efficiency may be
reduced temporarily.

You mean delete queued mail? `rm -f /var/spool/mqueue/*'.

Sendmail will automatically try to forward mail to the best MX for the
domain part of the recipient address. If you have any anti-relaying
rulesets, you will need to edit the appropriate files (e.g.
/etc/mail/relay_allo) to allow relaying to those hosts.
