We had a mail loop on one of our lists and ended up with over 51k messages in

Trying to delete them from the web UI will take forever, as the largest 
pagination you can view is 200 at a time.

Tried to delete them from the Python interactive shell, but it looks like the 
API times out after a while.

Is there another way to delete all these unwanted held posts?


You could try

bin/discard data/heldmsg-LISTNAME-*

If that times out, a bash script like

for file in `ls data/heldmsg-LISTNAME-*`; do
  bin/discard $file
done

should do it.
