They've probably all been sent already, but any messages queued in
Mailman will be in Mailman's qfiles directory. In a source install the
queues are directories like $var_prefix/qfiles/in/,
$var_prefix/qfiles/out/ and so on, and the actual queued messages are
*.pck files in the directories.

Packages may or may not have a 'qfiles' directory. E.g., in the
RedHat/CentOS package the queues are /var/spool/mailman/in/,
/var/spool/mailman/out/, etc.
