I can provide you one quick way.
I believe you must be having a table where you store the recipients details and email sending time(I mean when you want to send the emails). Create ones console application which will fetch the rows from the table by checking the Email sending time. Then you can send he emails one by one. After one successful mail sent or failure on sending emails, do change the row status on the table. That way you can restrict duplicate email sending. Once the application is ready, you can put it on the server and trigger it from the windows scheduler. You can plan set the reputation times as needed.

The same work you can do using a windows service as well, but I like the console to be triggered from the win scheduler.
