I'm a mailman newbe myself so I'm on shaky ground here, but the
"regular" posters haven't answered so I'll give it a shot.

It appears that a post contains an invalid (non-ascii) character (hex

The post has been shunted to the $prefix/qfiles/shunt/ directory.
perhaps you can edit it there to fix the problem and then run
$prefix/bin/unshunt or just return it to the poster.
