For scheduling tasks, you can use resque gem. It uses redis to store the tasks. You can use something like resque-scheduler gem to enqueue tasks at a specific time.

As for smtp, I would suggest you to go for a service like mandrill. If you use mandrill, sending email is nothing more than making an api call.
