If they are .bak files and Mailman is restarted, they will be
reprocessed?

What is the current issue?

I suggest stopping Mailman entirely. Then you can use bin/dumpdb or
bin/show_qfiles to examint the various /var/spool/in and other
/var/spool/* Mailman queue entries and any you don't want can be
removed or moved elsewhere. Then start Mailman and the stuf you
removed or moved aside will not be further processed.
