Assuming the admindb web interface is working, you could go there and
approve the posts.

Otherwise, you can modify bin/discard to approve the posts rather than
discard them.

See <http://wiki.list.org/x/nIA9> for some information on the usage of
bin/discard.

If you look at the bin/discard script, near the end you will see

       mlist.HandleRequest(id, mm_cfg.DISCARD, '', False, False, '')

(actually indented more than above). If you change mm_cfg.DISCARD to
mm_cfg.APPROVE, the script will approve held posts rather than discard
them.
