This sounds like one of those "if you have to ask you're better off not
messing with it" situations.  While LSMTP is down you can go a hunting
through the "spool" files looking for the message and deleting it/them.
If this is a blunder local to a few domains, eg you sent out a bogus memo
to be distributed a only one or two sites, then you can add a line to
the LSMTP config file saying:

site my_company.com  maxcalls=0

...start up LSMTP, and then "remove" the problem entries from that one
queue, which is neater and kinder to the server.
