We had a mail loop on one of our lists and ended up with over 51k messages in
pending (held due to post not form a list member)
Trying to delete them from the web UI will take forever, as the largest
pagination you can view is 200 at a time.
Tried to delete them from the Python interactive shell, but it looks like the
API times out after a while.
Is there another way to delete all these unwanted held posts?
The problem comes after executing:
reqs = list(adminlist.held)
After a couple of minutes it comes back with:
