Check out qmail.org for tools to do this.  The qmail queue structure is very
delicate and shouldn't really be messed with.  Also, depending on whether
you have the big-todo patch, you might have to do it differently.

Try this...

Eric Huss has released queue-fix
1.4<http://www.netmeridian.com/e-huss/queue-fix.tar.gz>.
It repairs or generates a qmail queue structure. You can use this to help
move your queue location, or if you regenerate the file system and the inode
numbering changes. It will also fix permissions and ownerships of the files.
Eric reports that Matthew Harrell wrote a patch to
queue-fix<http://qmail.org/queue-fix-todo.patch>which makes it work
with Russ Nelson's
big-todo <http://qmail.org/top.html#big-todo> patch. Patches upon patches!

Or this...

As far as forcing it to send, you have to edit the "info" file for each
message id within the directory.  If not, qmail will use its own algorithm
to figure out when to try again.  The longer a message is in the queue, the
less often qmail will try to re-send.
