My large list (40,000 names) is announcement only and all posts are held (to prevent the possibility of a spammer hijacking the list). So the "Schedule" option is the only one that would work. Simply scheduling when I send the post would not resolve the problem.
May you be filled with goodness, peace, and joy.

You may have to run a scheduling script every hour or so. It would be easier to use your PC (Windows or Linux) to send a message in a scheduled time. May be you can send a message with an "Approved" header and a "confirm" command with the confirmation string in the hold notice.
