Patrick,
I thought the communication was unclear. The actual question was:
"I have a program that send 150 mails and I would like to know if it exist a
program that can erase these sent mails in Outlook."
My assumption was that this was a clean-up operation and not a 'can I stop
these from being received'.

Just out of curiosity I was searching whether there is any smtp
command to revoke an email. Seems there is none.
The second link I'm sending you is a proposal from 2003 to change that
(only abstract). But it seems this didn't happen so far.
If this "revoke an email" is within a company with a specific
Microsoft exchange server then there might be other ways to
communicate with the server (eg: accessing ldap directory and delete
things there). But you still will need admin rights - and it won't be
too easy out of SAS.
