Man, I know the feeling
How do I get sendmail to forget the MX lookups it's done for mail that are
already in the queue, and check them again? I have a client who screwed up
with their DNS, so there's a host of mail in the queue destined to a
non-existent MX.
1) /etc/init.d/sendmail purgestat now -- purge sendmail host status
2) restart your caching DNS server (and every smtp server should have
one) to make sure nothing is cached
3) nscd -i hosts -- though actually, you should disable host caching
in nscd (or better, just purge the whole package)
with all that out of the way, sendmail will lookup the current MX for
each queue run.

<lilo> it's weird, when you go on a safari to Africa to catch a lion, you
find it alive and it charges, and then you kill it
<lilo> when you go on a safari to South Bay to find a Palm Vx, you find
it dead and take it home and it charges after it arrives :)
