I think the key word is *AFTER*, not during. He said his server requires
that:
he authenticates first,
checks for incoming mail second,
sends THIRD.
The PowerMail option in the "Scheduling..." area is "Send WHEN
receiving". I don't know if that implies a parallel process or a serial
process.
Perhaps someone who knows the RFC for POP/SMTP interactions could answer
that one. If PowerMail sends AFTER receiving then setting up a schedule
as you've outlined sounds like it would indeed work. In fact, he could
set it to happen automatically, just offset by a few minutes from his
regular schedules.
