Another possibility is that for these non-existent local addresses The
local outgoing MTA is reporting an error at SMTP time that Mailman
thinks is retryable causing mailman to queue the message in its
'retry' queue for later retry.

What's in Mailman's smtp and smtp-failure logs and Mailman's
qfiles/retry directory?
