It's in the FAQ's, - delete the heldmsg-... files in ~mailman/data/.. (these are the actual messages) - in version 2.1 simply delete the request.db file ~mailman/lists/<listname>/.. in version 2.0 copy a request.db from another list over the existing one (or simply run the web-admindb at that point and it will auto-sense that the heldmsg's have been deleted and then clean out the request.db file for you).
