We had a mail loop on one of our lists and ended up with over 51k messages in pending (held due to post not form a list member)
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.
