Set to automatically email

I know how to create a page that will email. And I can also create a page
that can iterate through a database, emailing everyone in the table.
However, I need to set up a page or process - whatever, so that, each day,
each person who signed up for this info, will be emailed automatically,
without someone generating the process (like clicking a button or something)
Is this possible?

It's possible, but it depends upon if your host will allow you to create
tasks or not. A simple way to do this is to have a page that will run a
query and send your emails for you. Then, you can use a service or a task
that can hit this page each night at a specific time. Your host may allow
you to create windows tasks that can do this, though a lot of them don't.
There used to be a few services that would also visit particular web pages
on a schedule but the ones I knew about aren't in business anymore (though
someone probably took their place).
