If you are using sendmail default install I can tell you.

Stop mail

Go to /usr/spool/mqueue and in their there should be three files

rm these files. and restart mail. 

Becareful though. You may get irate users in you delete the wrong mail.

Do a ls -l to see size of files.

If you have not got this directory and you use sendmail check out your
sendmail.cf file in /etc and do a search for "QueueDirectory" Varible.
