Setting up CRON with CPANEL

Greetings!

You should be able to use the example from the help at http://listmailpro.com/help/dailymail_cron.html

The first part 0 0 * * * is the timing.  The previous example means 12am midnight.  Minutes come first, so 12:15am would be 15 0 * * *.  To test, you might want to set it to * * * * * to run every minute - don't forget to enable the dailymail report.

If your host has removed wget you might try the following which uses an alternative program, curl:

0 0 * * * curl -o /dev/null http://yoursite.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

If your does indeed work with curl, and not wget, you will also need to update bounce.cgi for it to work.
