I think when you say "before the event" that you are no longer talking about delaying the email, but scheduling WHEN the email should be sent. In that case you are looking at event scheduling and it could be something as simple as a scheduled task, or you could get rather complex by leveraging Quartz (a java scheduling engine).

What would the best way to, for example, not send an email at the moment an event is posted to a site, but, say, 12 hours before the event. How would YOU do it, using CF7 and IIS / SMTP.
