You can force a send by issuing:
sendmail -q
when you have dialled into your ISP.
The defualt RH timeout for delivreing mail is every hour. I changed that
to every 10 mins, and now I don't have mail queues. This is set up in the
sendmail startup (the paramater -q1h should become -q10m) in the
/etc/rc.d directory structure. I think that it's in the file rc.local,
but someone else needs to confirm that as I don't have my RH installation
handy at the moment.
Hope that this helps,
Brad
