I'am quite suprised by the sendmail  status for this file : "Deferred" is
usually the status for mails to be sent to remote hosts in trouble.

Anyhow, did you try by-passing sendmail ? Run the following unix command :

(echo "From: my@email" ; echo "Subject: help") | ~sympa/queue 0 sympa 

Don't forget to set uid sympa firt (su - sympa), if you run queue program
as root, it will create a file owned by root in the spool and sympa demon
will probably hace insuffisant acces to remove it from the spool.

If Sympa demon is running, you may receive the helpfile. Else, check if
a file as been created in the sympa msg spool that contain :

X-Sympa-To: sympa 
From: my@email 
Subject: help 

Check queue program access ?
