[Mailman-Users] RE: Period Mailings; Like Birthday Announcements using Mailmail

[Jon Carnes]

Most folks use a cronjob to mail out FAQ's and other periodic mailings. 
If you look at mailman you will see that it also uses cronjobs to send
out its monthly mailings and it's daily digests.

Its an easy thing to do.
