Hi,

Here you need the future form and not the future perfect form because the action of 'sending' is going to happen and has not yet happened as: It will be sent in the next three hours.

Hi,
What are the differences between passive voice and active voice sentences? I mean why do we indicate for activeness or passiveness? What the point of doing that?

Yeah. I think nowadays, grammarians rarely explain for what the passive form is used. In my opinion, most of the passive is used in order to hide the doers's name i.e they don't want to mention it for a certain reason.
