I have a table of users which includes their email address. I'll also have a query that contains a list of "items due". This email should go out by calendar date due,less 5 days. How can I generate automated email that does not require an action in the application (Asp Runner)? In other words, the emails will go out maybe by machine date and is automatically sent without user doing any actions?

This is the job for external script. This script needs to be scheduled to run once a day and send a series of emails. To schedule the script you can use Windows scheduler or corn on Linux server.

Or Windows Scheduler. Good idea. Done that before, just had a brain lapse.
