Well, after Mailman (or postfix?) got back into the swing of things, the
/var/lib/mailman/data directory still has gobs of stuff in it. So my
earlier speculation that Mailman would clean this up was wrong. But I
think that all the held* files can go away, and I found this page
http://mg.pov.lt/blog?page=3 which seems to confirm that.

But I'm chicken to run that script, because I don't want to break anything
having to do with Mailman, cuz in Jeff's words, I break it, I own it. :)
There are over 24000 "held*" files now.

OK Curiosity got the better of me. 29222, to be exact.
