Someone more knowledgeable about SMTP than I will probably be able to tell you if you can send a mail and have the SMTP server hold onto it for 3 days - however I suspect it's not very likely. One way to approach this is to have a PHP script that does nothing but check to see who is due to be sent an email (based on the date they replied) and then send out a reminder accordingly. This script could then be called once a day via a CRON job, or you personally could click a button and make it happen - the downside being you'd have to remember to do it every day without failure. Personally I'd go for the cron job :) -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html
