If you have those files, they have been saved as raw queue files. So all 
you need to do is move or copy the pair of files into /var/spool/mqueue, 
and then optionally do
         sendmail -qIxxxxx
where xxxxx is any part of the qf/df filename (except the "qf" or "df" 
itself). If you don't do that, it will get delivered by sendmail the next 
time it runs the queue anyway. It just won't be instant.

Oh, and the I in qIxxxxx is a capital eye, not an el or a one.
