Resend archived mail

We had a sad story this morning. Long story short, I need to resend all 
archived emails addressed to one domain and archived. We are using 
Sendmail. If memory serves all we need to do is copy the archived 
message into mqueue like so:
cp -p 
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20051101/20051111/?fjABMN7KU009599   
/var/spool/mqueue

It's been 15 minutes or so & the emails have not budged from mqueue:
[root at mx1 root]# ls -al 
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20051101/20060516/?fk4GF081P020699
-rw-rw----    1 root     root         1085 May 16 10:00 
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20051101/20060516/dfk4GF081P020699
-rw-rw----    1 root     root         3143 May 16 10:00 
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20051101/20060516/qfk4GF081P020699
[root at mx1 root]# ls -al /var/spool/mqueue/?fk4GF081P020699
-rw-rw----    1 root     root         1085 May 16 10:00 
/var/spool/mqueue/dfk4GF081P020699
-rw-rw----    1 root     root         3143 May 16 10:00 
/var/spool/mqueue/qfk4GF081P020699


Two questions:
1. What am I missing?

2. Does any dear soul have a script they'd care to share with the group 
to re-deliver all emails sent to example.com ?
       Perhaps something as simple as:
           dosomething $(grep -ril "@katy.com" 
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20051101/20060516/qfk4GF081P020699 )

TIA
