Check your crons. Your MTA should run every 15 minutes to clean up the
queues even if the daemon insn't up to allow incoming mail.

rm -f /usr/bin/mail
ln -s /usr/bin/pine /usr/bin/mail

Actually, though, I thought mail attempted to call sendmail, which would
then automagically send the mail out. In any case the queue cron should
catch it.
