The command "mailq" should be on your system. It essentially runs "sendmail -bp" which prints the queue. You may wish to use "mailq | head" or "mailq | less" depending on the size of the current queue.
Hint: read up on sendmail timeouts and how to move mail to a separate queue. I had to test my strategies this weekend when master.debian.org was unreachable and I had >1400 mail messages stored on my machine (I'm the first MX for debian.org after master.debian.org).
