With Mailman and qmail stopped, look at the queues (qfiles/*). New
messages will not be arriving in qfiles/in, but there may be new,
unprocessed messages there. There may be unwanted messages in
qfiles/out and/or qfiles/retry and possibly still in qfiles/in. You
can view the messages in the queues (*.pck files) with
bin/show_qfiles, and just delete the ones you don't want (you could
have deleted unwanted messages from qfiles/shunt before running
bin/unshunt, but too late for that now).

Other messages may be queued in qmail. I fact, all the messages may
have already been delivered from Mailman to qmail. I don't know
specifically how to delete messages from qmail queues.
