I don't think that can be done.
What is it that you try to achieve?

You could send a customized message every x seconds through the scheduler, by programming a recurring action. Or combine the use of the NFS and the scheduler to send every x seconds a particular message.

I have my friends list, with about 310 names on it.
Using SBC/ATT as my internet provider, if I send more then 20 e-mails in a batch, they block the sending. (something like an anti-spam police SBC has)

I'm using the manual technic to place all e-mails in one 'stand by folder' and moving 15 by 15 to the 'outbox' folder every 5 or 10 minutes.
But it's a really pain to do.
I would like something more automatic, like:
"send queu list e-mail one every xx seconds."

Do you think it's possible?

I think the easiest way around this problem would be to use a third party smtp (proxy) server that offers this kind of functionality or to switch ISP.

Sorry if it would be a stupid question, but...
What would be a smtp (proxy) sever?
Can you give me one example on the net (I will not take as an endorsement. Just so I can take a look on this software and see how it works).

Switching ISP is not an option, since SBC/ATT is the only DSL at my place :(

Thank you

An smtp server is a program that receives your messages from your client and sends them further. (You'd configure TB to deliver its messages to localhost in stead of your ISP's server)
That sending further can be in two ways, it can act as a proxy server and send it straight along to your ISP's server (you'd need a proxy that can devide a 300 messages batch into 15 20 messages batches). or you'd take one that sends your messages straight to the recipient's ISP so bypassing your own ISP.

An example of a proxy would be X-ray: http://www.xrayapp.com/xray/ Though it don't know whether it supports the feature mentioned above.

An example of a real server would be Mercury;

Another option would be Ritlabs' Batpost:

Not that I'm not really familiar with any of these programs as I'm using Mailtraq for myself:
http://www.mailtraq.com
But in the configuration I'm using that, it has quite a different price tag.
