Delaying transmission of messages

I run an announce-only mailing list which distributes a newsletter
every Saturday. I shall be away for a while in the Spring, which
prompts me to ask the following question.

Though it is possible to delay transmission of messages to a list for
short periods, using a syntax of the form

  //X JOB PRIME="MON-FRI: 00:00-23:59; SAT-SUN: -"
  OK [confirmation code]
  /X EOJ

this is obviously limited to the standard timeout period (set to 48
hours on our list).

Is there any way of delaying transmission of messages even further,
say by two or three weeks, without using any Unix tools (I don't have
that kind of access)?
