The way to get a message in the mail queue without sendmail attempting
to send it on, is to shut down the server daemon.  Normally, there will
be two processes:

     UID   PID  PPID   C    STIME TTY         TIME CMD
    root 15741     1   0   Oct 02 ?           0:20 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m
   smmsp 15744     1   0   Oct 02 ?           0:01 /usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m

The first of these two is the server daemon.  Just kill that one, and
send an e-mail message.  That will create files in the
/var/spool/mqueue directory.  Then you can run sendmail manually to
see a transcript of the SMTP dialogue with the remote server.
