There is no real 'easy' way to find the specific message. You can use
the mqueue program (a symbolic link to sendmail which is the
equivalent of sendmail -bp) to find your message. If you have time to
remove just one file then remove the 'qf' file. The 'df' file holds the
text, but the sendmail does not attempt to deliver a message which has
a data file but no queue file.

Of course, the best method is to not send the message in the first place.

If you are not the root user, then there is no recall function. A message
sent is sent.

Better than that ... has an interface to the sendmail daemon been written.
A sendmail administrator and manager. Something that would help the
system adminstrator manage the queue (ie. send now, rm, etc.) and other
configurable aspects of sendmail outside of sendmail.cf and its
commandline options? I don't think sendmail, mailq, nor newaliases has
that feature.

Running mailq to list the messages in the queue will give you a good idea
of the filename to delete.
