hi - I've had success with stopping sendmail (make sure you kill all running sendmail processes) then editing the queuefile in /var/spool/mqueue manually - you can find the message ID by using mailq, then just vi the file in /var/spool/mqueue starting with qf, with that ID in it. in there there should be a RFD: tag or something... anyway - you'llrecognise your friends address in there... just change that to the new address, fire up sendmail again and check the mail queue again - the file should be on it's way!
just a word of caution though - this advice is all from (rather rusty) memory, and you should make a backup of the files relating to that message in the mail queue prior to editing incase sendmail decides it doesn't like what you're doing and eats your message!
