Well, there's a separate list for ezmlm, but this is somewhat qmail-related.

qmail-qstat and qmail-qread will give you all the information you could want.
Note that with standard ezmlm and qmail, you're probably talking about (in this circumstance) *one* message, with 12000 recipients, not 12000 messages.

It's non-trivial, but not spectacularly difficult. You have to shut
qmail-send down (cleanly), and remove the message from the queue (possibly
with a helper program), then restart qmail-send. It shouldn't be something
you're doing on a regular basis; needing to do it once is a lesson for your
customer to either double-check their messages before sending, or enable
moderation on the list so that they have to read and approve their own
postings to the list, giving them an opportunity to catch errors.
