Find Mailman's qfiles directory with subdirectories archive,  bounces, 
commands,  in,  news,  out,  retry,  shunt and  virgin.

Any outgoing messages not yet sent by Mailman will be in the out/ and
or retry/ queues. These are files of the form
ttttt.ttttt+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pck. You can delete these.

Any unprocessed returned bounces will be in bounces/ and any
unprocessed messages sent to -leave or -request (or -confirm, -join,
-(un)subscribe) will be in commands/.

Any unprocessed messages created by Mailman such as owner notices will
be in virgin/.
