Sorry, standard crontab is simply using the Linux scheduler - see http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm

An alternative to store all your contacts in a database (like MySQL) and use a PHP mailer, e.g. http://pommo.org/

If you have PHP hosting then you should be able to setup pommo fairly easily, failing that look for an ASP mass mailer script...

You can do (for free, unless your load's very heavy) periodic cron-like "sending of mails" with Google's App Engine, with Java or Python -- but I don't know of a free service that will let you do that with asp.net (or other .NET code).

Here's an couple of old articles on how to implement a cron job with ASP.NET: Simulate a Windows Service using ASP.NET to run scheduled jobs and Scheduled ASP.NET Task (ASP.NET Cron Jobs).
You basically just add something to the cache, and when the item expire you can use that event to trigger your code. Simple.
