Run mailq and obtain the Q-ID of the bad message:
Mail Queue (1 request)
--Q-ID-- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------

As root go to /var/spool/mqueue, there'll be two files with this Q-ID:
Delete them!
# cd /var/spool/mqueue
# ls
dfGAA20975 qfGAA20975
# rm *GAA20975
Cheers,
Roland.
