I'm wondering if this is possible:

I want an automated follow up email to go out to the customer 5 days after their order has been completed. Is it possible to set up automated messages on a site, without managing your own server (creating a special service, etc)?

The only way I can think of it happening is to trigger a lookup/send every time a person does something on the site. But this is obviously a resource hit, since the lookup would occur possibly 1000's of times a day.

Matt,
I'm not sure if this is something that you are looking for, but I am using it for my own projects and it works like a charm! (Well after mucking through some stuff :) )

[serverobjects.com...]

Look for the one called WaitFor.
