Cron Jobs

[jakeyoh]

We've got a regular newsletter which gets sent out to our subscribers. However it needs to be manually sent each time, and often the connection gets timed out, and it has to be done again from where it left it.

Ideally a Cron Job will be able to do this for me automatically, to process the queue every x amount of minutes.

Does BT website hosting support Cron Jobs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Jake

Nope, they do not support it.

Use something like www.cronless.com instead.

I would also be careful if you are sending out bulk mail. Although I don't think BT publish the limits, most hosting providers allow a max of 500 an hour before you become a spamming suspect.
