And I neglected to say to remove only certain messages, use Mailman's
bin/show_qfiles or bin/dumpdb to examine files in
/path/to/mailman/qfiles/retry/ and then just remove the ones you don't
want. Note that of the two, only dumpdb shows the metadata that
includes the recipient list, but show_qfiles accepts multiple file
arguments and dumpdb does not.

Also, if this question relates to your prior post about "Emails to a
specific email domain get error", those messages are queued in Exim,
not Mailman. See "man 8 exim" for information on exim queues.
