No, but you might be able to hold mail in your queue until
you are certain that it is OK to send.

Assuming that you submit via SMTP:

/etc/postfix/main.cf:
    smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access
    
/etc/postfix/sender_access:
    u...@example.com hold

This mailing list forwards all your postings to mailboxes of
subscribers world-wide (some of which re-publish it on websites,
which are indexed by search engines etc.).  There is no protocol
to revoke email.  And if such a protocol did exist, you would not
have any guarantee that it is enforced.
