You should be able to go to the admindb interface for the 'mailman' list at whatever host you're currently using to access Mailman, and discard the held messages. If for some reason, you can't, you should discard the heldmsg-mailman-*.pck files using Mailman's bin/discard and not by simply removing them since just removing them will not remove the entries from lists/mailman/request.pck and you'll still get the notices. Also, if you run fix_url on the mailman list, you'll get the correct hostname in the url in the notice.
