Whoops. :-o

sendmail -qxxx
where xxx is the internal, such as 15m or 1h for 15 minutes or 1 hour.
Normally this should be in the installed startup scripts.
More than once, in my personal experience, an upgrade has resulted in a
sendmail which simply crashed when attempting to process the queue; it
seems to be very libc-version-sensitive. I would suggest trying
sendmail -q (with no time interval specified - runs the queue once only)
in the foreground first to make sure it is not crashing... if this works,
it might take a while to process 30M of mail. Then background a
sendmail -q1h and figure out why this is being missed at startup.
