Costly (in terms of service to your users) but simply stop LISTSERV.  If this
is Windows, keep SMTPL running.  Yes, many files will accumulate in the
~\SPOOL directory.  However, many of these files will begin with B_xxxxxxx.
They are bounces which you can safely delete after the dust has settled.  Note
some of these files may be bounces for mail to other lists.  Tough.  This is
emergency triage you are attempting.

Wait until new files stop appearing in the ~\SPOOL at an alarming rate.  Then
do your deletions, then restart LISTSERV.

BTW, you should add this setting to site.cfg (and then restart LISTSERV)

JOBQ_MINPROC=0

This will speed up bounce processing.


Once the dust settles, You need to add

Attachments= No, Filter
Sizelim= 100K             (or 50K)

to the list configuration(s) to prevent future similar events.
