Thank you so much.

Is there a filtering rule that I can create to only send email to a specific email address between a certain amount of time?

Thanks.

There is no filtering rule or action that triggers on specific time spans, but it might be possible to do with a policy or a daemon (and a bit of programming).

There is no filter to do this but if you want to send a message at a specific time using Pegasus Mail and Mercury you need to get a copy of the  "Defered message" extension.  This extension will allow you to send a message that will be delayed to be sent at a specified time using the REMAIL command. I can send you a copy if you wish, send a message to the address below.

If you do not want to use Pegasus Mail to do this then you can also do the manually by placing the structured message created in something like Notepad (or other ASCII editor) into the Mercury Notify directory.

 Deferred mailing, the mail server REMAIL command.

The mail server in Mercury 1.11 and later supports a new command - REMAIL.  

The Remail command allows a piece of mail to be submitted for sending at a future time and date: to enable it, you must have the line: notify : <path> in your Mercury.INI file - <path> must be a path to an existing directory anywhere on the server.  

In general, users should not be given any rights to this directory. The remail command must be either the last or the only command in the message submitted to the mail server. The format of the remail command is as follows:  

Remail yy-mm-dd hh:mm
<Message>

YY, MM, DD are the Year, Month and Day; HH and MM are the hour and minute. The message to be sent should begin on the line immediately following the Remail command, and must be a correctly-formatted, legal RFC822 message. The mail server will correctly expand CC and TO addresses in the submitted message at send time, but will not deal with BCC addresses.  

You can send also send mail to Mercury via SMTP and get it remailed. The body of the message sent to maiser@<your Mercury host> contains the message.
