Can I schedule a daily time frame to forward certain messages

I have a rule that forwards messages to a phone text message email address. I would like a rule in Outlook that checks the time before sending the message. I'm only wanting the rule to be in effect during waking hours. I don't care if the message gets forwarded I just need to know to look at my email because an event that matches the rule has happened.

I'm thinking there has to be a way to script it so that when the rule matches the a script is called and it sends a message if it is within the time frame.

Is it possible and how?

Sure.
Set up a Rule for "After I send a Message"
Add selection for sending to THIS email address (whatever that is)
Then for Actions - DEFER DELIVERY for X MINUTES. (although it only defers for 120 minutes)
Probably could use a "Custom Action" but that is going to require more coding.

Thanks, Maybe I wasn't clear,
I'm trying to set a notification process for myself. If I get an email with a certain subject I need to be notified ASAP if it is between 6a.m. and 10p.m. I don't want to be woken when I'm not responsible for it.
I'm looking for the script that would do this

I ultimately solved my problem via software on my phone. What Bluedevilfan proposes looks like it would work when completed but I don't need it to be completed anymore. Maybe someone else will
