Make it -q15m (full - sendmail -bd -q15m)

Sendmail running in background = -bd (background, as a daemon).
-q15m - /usr/sbin/sendmail -q to run the sendmail queue (to send out queued
messages, which could not be sent instantly) every 15 minutes.  -q1h = do
that every one hour.

No - it will just leave it in the queue thats all, for the next queue run
