Stop Mailman.

Look at Mailman's 'in' and 'out' queues. You can examine queue entries
with bin/dumpdb or bin/show_qfiles, although you can probably identify
the offenders by size if they are there.

Remove or move aside any offending queue entries and start Mailman.

But, I suspect the messages have long since been delivered to the MTA,
and any removal will have to be done there. How to do that depends on
your MTA.
