Formail (which usually comes with procmail) has an option to split up a
mailbox and pipe each message to a command. So something along the lines
of (completely untested btw :)

cat /var/spool/mail/mymailspool | procmail -s /usr/bin/sendmail -oi <myaddress>

should do the trick, where <myaddress> is something that will get delivered
to your account on the gateway.
