First thing I think you should do is install WebMin,
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.390.tar.gz

to find the location of the mail queue , inspect results of the command:   locate mqueue


the maillog keeps a record of what has transpired with sendmail activity, the amount of details depending on the log level defined in sendmail.
