You would have either set up a schedule on the server, or run a thread on the server which checks the databse for emails to be sent on a regular interval.

You need to create Windows service which activated after 15 sec.
It checks the outbox table in database and after comparing senddate send the mail.

MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = new MailAddress("[e-mail]");
message.To.Add(new MailAddress("[e-mail]"));
message.Subject = "This is my subject";
message.Body = "This is the content";

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();

client.Send(message);


<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="........">
<network host="..." port="25" userName="..." password="secret" defaultCredentials="true" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
<system.web>

You can create a seperate application , a console base or win app, or service..
and use threading within that

please check the following site, and use the asynchronus method invocation.
