[Mailman-Developers] reminders

[Salvatore F. Iozzia]

I am trying to migrate a yahoo email list to my mailman list. One feature of
yahoo is to send a reminder to the list of the weekly event the list is
based on. Is there a way to do this with mailman, do I have to write a
script in php or python and cron it? will mailman except email from the
server and send them to the list?

thanks for your time and responses.
