There is actually a workaround. You're using Simple MAPI which has a nice easy interface. The confirmation dialogs are only for Simple MAPI. Using Extended MAPI can work around the problem but its a lot more tricky.
See the initial discussion here: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/Python-win32/2160646
This code has now been included in pywin32 somehow but I can't remember where and its late. Should also be a cookbook entry. Maybe Google can help :-)
Okay, here's the results. The good news is that the code sent the mail without any popup's. The bad news is that the sent e-mail stays in the outbox instead of the sent folder. Any suggestions?

Well, only the same one I've already made, which is to look on the win32all mailing list archives. Since this appears to be beyond you, here's a note by Chad Stryker commenting on an original work by David Fraser.
It may give you the clues you need, otherwise Google for the whole thread(s).
"""Thank you for figuring this extended MAPI interface all out. I discovered a couple of problems with the code (on my system at least). First, the message in my outbox was marked as read. Second, the message would remain in the outbox after it was sent. After several hours of work, I added three lines to the function that mark the message as unread and cause the message to be deleted from the outbox after it is sent.
First, I added a constant that I found in the MAPI header file MAPIDefS.h.
CLEAR_READ_FLAG = 4
Next I added two lines just before “outboxfolder.SaveChanges(0)”.
message.SetReadFlag(CLEAR_READ_FLAG) message.SetProps([(mapitags.PR_DELETE_AFTER_SUBMIT,1)])
With these changes, the behavior in the outbox is consistent with sending messages directly from Outlook.
