emailQ.NET Scheduled Send to Queue

The example demonstrates sending a simple message to the emailQ.NET queue for scheduled delivery through the specified ServerAddress. 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 deliver to the specified ServerAddress.

Why use this option?
