If you machine is configured correctly, it should allow what you want, 
BUT.. they must check their mail first.  You can adjust the time out 
amount, I think it is set to 5 or 10 minutes as default.

Some email clients will check anytime you try and send.  Others like 
outlook and outlook express don't or didn't.  You had to specifically check 
your mail, then send.
