Using brute force to test Sendmail passwords.

Hi everyone,
i'm implementing a password security policy for all mail users on a
sendmail server (redhat 7.3), and i need to know if all users DID follow
the insructions (min lenght = 5, not only A-Z chars, etc). My question is:
is there a way to pick the passwords file to make some brute force test,
automatically? (any tool?) (any other way to test them?)

thanks a lot!

PD: excuse my english, its not my native language :(
