#Mac mail send later mac os x

So I use postfix, which is installed in all Mac OS X by default, as a SMTP relay. I don't think it's possible with Mail.app, or any email client (I'd be more then glad to stand corrected on this though). What I realize is that I need a multiple SMTP server configuration, where if one fails, there's automatic fallback to another. Everywhere else, my school's SMTP server is inaccessible, and I have use either my ISP's SMTP server or Yahoo's server. So when I'm at school, I *have* to use to school's SMTP server. Specifially, it blocks outgoing port 25, which is becoming a more and more common restrictions. My school has a pretty restrictive environment too. Has anybody experienced this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm tired of getting in trouble for failing to send important emails, and my boss is getting tired of the 'Apple Mail is incompetent' excuse. I've been looking more and more into Postbox, but I'm not sure I'm ready to dive right in at the risk of screwing up my local/remote email syncing. Short of that, I can't find any other solution. believe me, I would have done it a long time ago. It's pretty necessary that I use the office's SMTP server when I am in the office, so I can't switch the account over to just one SMTP server. Mail insists on hiding the outbox 99% of the time, so when it gives up sending an email and doesn't prompt me, I have no way of knowing whatsoever short of calling whoever I emailed to confirm they've received. Up to two days later, by which point the lack of communication has already led to multiple problems, only worsening the headache. In the following 24-48 hours, at some point, Mail will let me know it couldn't send the message. When I forget, Mail usually won't say a word about its inability to send the email and I'll assume it's gone and continue about my day. When I'm at home I just send through my personal SMTP server - when I remember to specify that instead fo the office default before I send the email. Obviously, this means I can't send through this SMTP server when I'm not in the office. My work email is set up to use my workplace's SMTP server, which belongs to the ISP of the office. I have six email accounts in Mail, all POP3 (I need access to emails when I'm away from WiFi as well). One issue in particular has become too workflow crippling though. For instance, accounts using SSL constantly asking for the password, often 4-5 times within a thirty second window.

It's such a shame because it's such a slick program, but it looks like a couple of the problems I experience are not just problems for me but many users. So Apple Mail has been driving me crazy lately.
