I'll give hamster a try (assuming there's a windows version).

I'd heard about this earlier but assumed at some point I'd need to
actually send the queued mails at which time I'd still suffer the
delay.  Since I don't send enough mail to warrant queueing I didn't
try this.

Hamster seems promising though.  I wonder how it reports failures?
Would it just log them and I'd have to check a log to make sure emails
were getting out fine?
