Is there a way to schedule a pre-formatted email message to be sent to a selected group of NT network users either from Outlook or from an Exchange server?

Alternatively, can I use a Visual Basic 6.0 program that launches and sends a pre-formatted Outlook message on my client PC on a file server? The idea is that the email needs to be sent on a particular date, and we don't want to depend on a client PC running on the date that the mail needs to be sent.

One way you can do this is to use mapisend.exe from the resouce kit. create your message useing word and use mapiend and the AT scheduler (windows scheduler)to send your message at the assigned time.Also by using this method you can schedule the message to be send every day/ every hour or just once.

If you're using Outlook2000, using the Options menu under Outlook, you can schedule a message for deferred delivery. This is a server-side option that doesn't require the client to be running at the time of delivery.
