They were probably all subscribed yesterday. What is probably ongoing
now is the mailing of the subscription notification notices. Some of
these have been delivered, some may still be in Mailman's qfiles/out
queue waiting to be delivered to the outgoing MTA and some may be
queued in the MTA.

If you control the mailman installation, you can stop Mailman and look
at the out queue and possibly delete (some of?) the entries there. You
can also look at Mailman's smtp log to see what's been delivered to
the MTA.

Are you saying that you created a new list sucessfully and mass invited
people and you got an error or just that the invitations aren't sent
(yet). If the latter, it's probably because your outgoing MTA is
overloaded.
