if you run on a "nix" server you need to setup a Cron job

If you mean can you send them a file at certain intervals, you just need an autoresponder setup. You host may have this option or you can do a search for autoresponders.

luck and joy,

hi

my server is linux and it got cron jobs but i dont know how to send them..also i have to send them a file not only a text mail...

I use a script called aformmail.php. It sends an autoresponder when a form is submitted and I think an attachment can be included. I'm not sure if this can be scheduled to occur automatically, but maybe you'd be able to change it a bit to match your purposes. Alternatively, when people first download your program, you could ask if they want to be added to an e-newsletter to receive program updates.
