As a matter of fact, yes. I put myself on a one-minute delay a few
months ago.


I use this router (adjust senders/condition/etc as needed):

delay:
driver = redirect
senders = dlugo@???
condition = ${if < {$message_age}{60}{yes}{no}}
allow_defer
data = :defer: message not old enough
no_verify


...with this retry config:

*       *       senders="dlugo@???"    F,5m,1m; F,2h,15m; F,20h,2h; F,4d,4h



I could have gotten by without that, but the default retry interval is
once every 10 minutes for the first 2 hours, and I didn't want to delay
my mail _that_ much.
