How?

If there is no lists/peacecorps/ directory, the list is gone and you
won't get this message unless there is some cron somewhere running a
cron/checkdbs script in some other mailman installation not completely
uninstalled that still has a lists/peacecorps/ directory.

There may also be a data/heldmsg-peacecorps-nn.pck file which contains
the actual message. This is not causing the notice which is driven by
lists/peacecorps/request.pck, but if it's there, you might as well
delete it.
