Default Delay sending mass emails until the evening?

Best to ask in an Exchange group for that then.

||| Hi there,
|||
||| In work, we use Outlook 2003 with Exchange 2003.
|||
||| Is there a way that a user can manually choose to send a mass-email
||| email with a delay? i.e. after hours?
|||
||| For example, we have users who might send an email to 50 people,
||| with a 500kb attachment. Rather than do this in working hours (and
||| slow down our Citrix network), I'd prefer it if they could manually
||| choose for it to be sent in the evening.
|||
||| However, the only way I can figure out how to do this, is to to
||| into the email options and choose to 'not send before' a certain
||| time. However, this keeps the email in question in the user's
||| Outbox, which then requires them to be left logged onto the network
||| overnight with their Outlook open.
|||
||| Is there a better way of doing this?
|||
||| I don't want to delay sending large emails across the board, but
||| only manually when there's lot of recipients like this.
|||
||| Thanks for any help,
|||
||| Ste

| Hi there,
|
| Thanks for the suggestion, but I was hoping there was a free way to
| do this, i.e. a setting in Outlook that I could use in order to send
| an email (it doesn't have to be a mass email, it could simply be a
| large email, or an email with an embargo, such as a news release)
| with a delay, possibly using a piece of Exchange server functionality
| that I've not yet discovered yet?
|
| Thanks,
|
| Ste
