Purging clientmqueue messages is just the same as purging messages out
of the regular mail queue.  You can just delete the queue and data
files out of /var/spool/clientmqueue, or you can force a client mqueue
run by:

    # /usr/sbin/sendmail -Ac -q -v 

However, permission denied is a funny error: your
/var/spool/clientmqueue directory should be owned by smmsp:smmsp and
mode 770.  The sendmail binary (/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail) should
be mode 2555, owner root:smmsp

	Cheers,
