Yeah, a pita, I wound up create /var/run/sendmail/{mta,msp} to handle
varying permissions

Depending upon your version, /etc/mail/sendmail.conf or
/etc/default/sendmail
The QUEUE_INTERVAL variable is what you want to set, it controls how
often sendmail will attempt to run the queue (I have mine set at 1
minute for workstations, and 5 minutes for servers) you want to balance
this time with the average time taken to run a queue.
With 8.12, you can set the interval on a per/queue basis (which is
actually how I handle my queues)
