Send scheduled e-mails

[ekevu123]

I need to send occasional one-off scheduled e-mails. So, I have an e-mail that shouldn't be sent immediately, but at a scheduled time. Also, my computer shouldn't have to be online at that time, so I want to schedule and forget.

I was using Missive for that reason, a free web app for e-mails, but it terminated their free plan, and I have no other reason to pay for it.

I can think of ways to code something to solve this, but it seems overkill. I wonder how else I could solve this?

My setup:

• Cloudron as e-mail server
• Postmark is the relay
• Locally, I use Thunderbird (they have a schedule extension, but this requires my laptop to be online)

Actually, if there's no better solution, I would even be fine to code a small relay and host it on Cloudron. But maybe I am overcomplicating this here?

This might be an excellent feature for the new webmail app, no?

In the simplest case this would be a cron/at command and a preformatted message.

Depending on the use case there may be some other ways. For example in case you want to send out product updates, maybe a newsletter/mailinglist software would be helpful. Here you can schedule mails and also do some tracking. Or if its just personal notifications I have seen that ntfy has scheduled messages that can trigger smtp delivery.
