You could do this with a little ruleset and an external script that 
would show the admin each mail message and move it into the outgoing 
queue if it's 'approved'.
Just use a ruleset that says that mail going to domains other than your 
own should go into /var/spool/mqueue.approval. Mail going to your domain 
goes straight into /var/spool/mqueue.

The script would then show the messages in mqueue.approval to the admin, 
then if they are approved they are moved into mqueue (from where the MTA 
will then deliver them).
