.NET scheduled mass email open source solution

Does anyone know of a solution (preferably open source, so that i can customize it to fit my needs), for automatic sending of emails at scheduled intervals?

If not, can anyone recommend a .NET technology that i could use to achieve this? I was thinking of using a Windows Service for this application, but the problem is that i have no experience developing Windows Services. I would like to build a WCF or ASP.NET deployable solution, but i'm not sure if the architecture of WCF or ASP.NET would allow me to do this without some ugly hacks.

Thank you.

Speaking from experience, I would not recommend this unless you have a year of free time. There are many elements that go into a full-featured mailing application and you'll want to at least start with some base code.

MailSystem.NET contains everything you need including a template based mail merging system and a mail queuing service that supports scheduling.

It is free and open source.

Theres a mail client in the System.Net namespace and you have a scheduling component here: http://quartznet.sourceforge.net/

As for windows services, it's not really that hard. Visual Studio have a windows service project type that you can use to get everything that you need. Just put in some classes with your logic.
