Hi,

Would anyone happen to have a script that would allow users to defer outbound messages from Outlook 03/07 with Exchange 03/07?
We are looking to have the following type of functionality; (It used to exist in Exch 5.5 > named Deferred Delivery)
A user creates a message at lets say 3pm. That message must be delivered to the recipient at 12am the following morning. We would like for the user to be able to schedule this somehow within outlook & have the message truly reside at the Exchange server until the requested delivery time arrives. Then have exchange process the final transaction instead of trying to depend on outlook to do this.

I would imagine it would require a couple of componets at least; Client side script of so sort + some sort of scanning at the exchange level perhaps; or a custom sink on exchange to process these messages with specific rules?

We have tried the following utilities;
1. Built in delay delivery feature in Outlook < It works (sometimes) but still retains the message in the outbox and depends on outlook to be open to process the message. Also have the issue where once the email is delivered to the recipent it shows within the email what time it was created.
2. MapiLab toolbox < again works (sometimes) but frequently has hang-ups where it does not send half of the required messages& then for some reason the messages begin to duplicate into the hundreds right in the outbox
3. Sendlater < Will only work with POP/IMAP accounts. Useless right now.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks.
