php mail() - sending delayed messages?

[Anon]

Is there any way to send a delayed mail message using the PHP mail() function or another method?

I have an email-able form, and one of the options is "send this message at (some time) on (some date)", i.e., the user can specify exactly when the mail message should be delivered.

We do not have an in-house server, so we don't control the mail queue or anything like that.

Any ideas?

not if you dont have access to the mailserver.. its possible to shuffel emails in a special queue based on rules with sendmail.. there is a little trick that might work but its not neat programming.. thats to do a systemcall to the sendmail file and delay it.. if you put all that in a nohub you have your own "mailqueue"

system("nohub sendmailcommand");
