Look in Mailman's data/ directory for files named
heldmsg-listname-nnn.pck. If you want to see the actual held message,
dump the file with bin/dumpdb. to remove the file use bin/discard. Do
not simply remove the files as that won't stop the daily notice.

It's not easy to admin a mailman list without the web interface.
