On many cPanel servers the default cron task (http://www.listmailpro.com/help/dailymail_cron.html) will work. My example below is for 12 25 midnight:

25 0 * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null -T 0 http://example.com/mail/dailymail.php?pw=YourDailyMailPass 1> /dev/null 2> /dev/null

Some marketers prefer to email in the morning, ie: 4-5am PST to catch eastern USA in the morning.  It's personal preference really, and you'll have to take the servers time zone into account.  You can view the time zone from the ListMail "Dailymail" or "Sent Messages" pages.
