email from timer

I'd like to have a periodic process that sends email if certain 
conditions are met, but when I try the following

(defun start-watching (&optional (period 600))
   (labels ((check  ()
                   (when <conditions-are-met>
                         (WWW-UTILS:SEND-MAIL-FROM  ...))))
     (setq *watch-process* (mp:make-named-timer "Watcher" #'check))
     (mp:schedule-timer-relative *watch-process* 0 period)))

I get the error "PROCESS-WAIT when scheduling not allowed" whenever 
send-mail-from is invoked from within "check". Perhaps send-mail-from 
does some scheduling itself, but that is not allowed from within the 
context of a scheduled function?

What can I do to fix this?

     Thanks,

	Mark
