That will just send them through MailScanner and catch and quarantine 
them again. They need to go into the outgoing queue.

Something like this ugly shell script will get everything under 
quarantine (all dates) that is going to some domain.com.

cd /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/

for i in `grep "rRFC822" */*/qf* | \
grep -w domain.com | \
awk -F : '{print $1}' | \
sort -u | \
sed 's/\/qf/\/?f/'`; \
do echo $i; \
done;

Cut and paste it in. Replace domain.com with the domain you want to 
find. Replace "echo $i" with "cp $i /var/spool/mqueue" when you like the 
output.

Run the outgoing queue manually if it's stuck for some reason.
/usr/sbin/sendmail -oQ/var/spool/mqueue -v -qRdomain.com
