Check the command used to start Sendmail (it /is/ running, isn't it?)
The command you are interested in is the -q one -  this is how often
to process the queue.  -q15m tell it to run the queue every fifteen
minutes.  If you don't have this, it will just spool mail until you
type "sendmail -q", in which case, it will process the entire spool,
then exit.
