MySQL Postfix Automatic Message
I am really new on UNIX system (Debian) . We have 4 e-mail list running off of a mail server. I want to set up such that it generates automatic message every month to remind all the clients. Anybody has any idea how to set up postfix so it generates routine automatic message.

I don't think that postfix has the ability to create such messages, or interface that you can alter, but instead, you can prepare a text file, containing all the information that the customers / subscribers should receive, and setup a cron job to mail this file every month.

I think I am going to stick with your idea. Would you mind explaining little more since I an UNIX dummy.
