if he wants to rmeove the bulk he must know what to look for now? seems 
like you  ppl are suggesting to tim to do more work then is neccessary, I 
do this regulary clearing out spammers trash, almost every 3 days, and im 
talking a damn sight more than 50K emails in the queue, also I suggest he 
changes his sendmail config..

define(`confQUEUE_SORT_ORDER', `time')dnl
that should solve his immediate problem, its not a default option, and if 
not already he should also add in:
define(`confSEPARATE_PROC',`True')dnl
define(`confDOUBLE_BOUNCE_ADDRESS',`')dnl
