If these are in the mail queue then this is not a Mailman question, but
a question relating to your MTA.  In this case it looks like you are
using exim, and the information on the format of the spool files can be
found at

The short answer is that the list of addresses you see is the list of
addresses *not* to be delivered to (this may mean they have already been
delivered to), and the Y/N encoding shows how they are arranged in the
balanced binary tree data structure.
