The other responses are probably all you need. The CRON job seems to require
access to the UNIX environment, and I'm not sure how that might be done if
you are working from a Windows platform. There are many ways to do this, but
the best way may depend on just how your script is written. I am assuming it
is PHP and is running on either a remote host or your localhost Apache
server or equivalent.

Since I am using a Win7 machine, which may go to sleep or shut down once in
a while, it would make better sense to run whatever scheduling application
on the remote server. And in that case, of course, the address list and the
content would need to be there as well, probably in a MySQL or similar
database. I found the following that may help:

Otherwise, there may be some free email servers that permit mass mailings,
and if not, there are some that seem to be inexpensive. Here are some
