There are a couple of methods you can try depending on the exact circumstances.

I will assume that you're talking about a mailing list that is is

        Send= Editor,Hold,Confirm

or similar.

If this is the only message that is going to be sent during the time
period you could set a Prime= value for the mailing list.  For
instance

        Prime= "MON-TUE: 00:00-23:59; WED-SUN: -"

would delay any messages sent on Monday or Tuesday until the midnight
seperating Tuesday and Wednesday.  (The message could be confirmed
before then.)

If the above isn't an option, you could try the following:

1) Issue the message and wait for the confirmation.  Say the
confirmation code is AB0013E4.

2) Send a message to listserv with the following in the body of the message:

        //X PRIME="MON-TUE: 00:00-23:59; WED-SUN: -"
        OK AB0013E4
        /X EOJ

If the above is sent on Monday or Tuesday this will prevent the "OK
AB0013E4" command from being executed until the midnight preceding
Wednesday.

The PRIME= syntax needs to be exactly right so be very careful when
putting these together.  It is probably a good idea to test the above
concepts on a test mailing list to make sure you understand how they
work before using them with an active mailing list.

A discussion of Prime settings can be found in section 12.3 of the
Site Manager's Manual and a discussion of JOB syntax can be found in
Chapter 3 of the Developer's Guide.
