An easy (non-perl) way to do this if you are using sendmail
is to pass the -odq option to sendmail. This causes sendmail
to queue the mail for sending later, instead of sending it
immediately. Of course, you don't get fine-grained control
over how long the delay is. Sendmail will process it at the
next queue run interval, which is set in the sendmail.cf file.
<p>
If you wanted to clean the queue out every few minutes instead
of waiting for sendmail to do it, you could always set up a
cron job to run "sendmail -qSfoo@bar.com" where foo@bar.com is
the "From" address on your email.
