Did you try

  sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart
  /usr/sbin/sendmail -q

?

It always worked for me, although my situation is slightly different: a
laptop that moves between different networks, and mail.pov.lt resolves
into a different (local) IP in one of those networks.

(By the way, Ubuntu now has an /etc/network/if-up.d/postfix script that
does everything that needs to be done in my migrating laptop situation.)

written RetchMail, and it is morally wrong for you to use it. But try it, it's
really fast!
