You may want to look at DEC's Message Router which provides store and 
forward capability for VMSmail via the MRGATE interface.  You can send
mail to a remote user that is currently unavailable and let the Message
Router try to send it at a later time.  You can control how often the Message
Router attempts the remote connects and could sync it to the times when the 
connects to Switzerland.
