Is there a way to set up the mailer to send out an emailing every 2 weeks exactly.

I want to have listmaipro send the same email every other Tuesday. Is there a way to do that?

Really? No body knows?

I read through the manual again and it looks like you have to set it up to go out on specific days, like the 1 and 15, but you cannot do it for every other Tuesday. Just wanted to make sure.

Greetings,

It is not possible at this time to schedule a repeat message.

What I would suggest is a custom PHP script to insert a scheduled message into the lm_schedule table shortly before dailymail.

This script could then be executed on a cron schedule which does allow for complex repeat timing.

Could it be set-up as a followup with a cron?  Not that I understand that, thus my topic, but it would work - wouldn't it??

Yes, although the custom script would insert a "Scheduled Message" as opposed to a followup.

Such a script with the timing you suggested is fairly complex.  I would ask for about $50 for creation and assistance with it.

Another way you might be able to accomplish this is with a single followup for the list (do you need other followups?).  Set the delay to 6 (1 week) and the cron-style timing to tuesday (* * 2).  Then enable the "Loop followups" option on the List Settings page.
