I *think* that 
    sendmail -Mrm <msgid>
will work; to get a list of the msgids, run sendmail -bp.  You'll
probably have to be root.

As I say, though, this is only an educated guess: I run exim here, and
while it mimics a great deal of sendmail's command line structure for
compatibility (even going so far as having a /usr/sbin/sendmail
symlink), I don't know how close they are.  Check sendmail's manpage to
be sure.

HTH,
