emailQ.NET Scheduled send to the IIS Pickup Directory

The example demonstrates sending a simple message to the IIS Pickup directory for scheduled delivery through the IIS Virtual SMTP Server. Internally, Smtp.NET creates a file with an ".eml" extension, containing information that IIS uses to deliver messages. emailQ.NET waits until the specified time to drop the file into the IIS Pickup directory.
NOTE: IIS Virtual SMTP Server does not support authentication with the use of .eml files dropped in the pickup directory.

Why use this option?
