It is not in /var/spool/mail/mailman becaise the mailman list post
alias takes precedence and poosts it to the mailman list.

It is not in the mailman list's archives because it is held for
approval as a post from a non-member and is still waiting approval.

The messages should be visible in the admindb web interface for the
mailman list.

There should also be a large number of files in mailman's data/
directory with names like heldmsg-mailman-nnn.pck. Each of these
contains one held message. Also, depending on list settings, there may
be so many of these that the admindb CGI times out before it can
generate the summary page. In that case, you have to remove some, but
don't just rm them.

To view the contents of one of these, use Mailman's bin/dumpdb tool. To
remove one, use Mailman's bin/discard tool. To remove them all, see
the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/nIA9>.
