If LISTSERV still has it it is in one of two places:

1) the listserv/home/ directory as a plaintext listname.ok* file
(listname is the name of the mailing list and there's a bunch of hex
characters after the "ok").

2) the listserv/spool/ directory as a .job or .jobh file (viewable
using the jobview executable in the same directory) or a .mail file
(plaintext).

If LISTSERV managed to hand it off to its outgoing SMTP server it
would be in that SMTP server's queue.  (For most Unix installations
this would be sendmail or whatever mail server is installed on the
same server as LISTSERV.  If the SMTP_FORWARD and/or SMTP_FORWARD_n
site configuration variables are set they will point to the SMTP
server(s) that handle LISTSERV's outgoing mail.)
