PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CONTACT YOUR WEB HOST OR SYSTEM 
ADMIN TO COMPLETE THIS IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT SETTING CRON JOBS
********************************************************************************


You are able to set a cronjob for the following files/tasks:

	cron.php 	  	   - Required for scheduled sending and will also eliminate
					     server timeouts while sending mailings. 

	cron_bounce.php    - Automatically runs bounced email checker. 
						 Will only check through up to 120 messages per run.

	cron_responder.php - Required for auto-responders.  
						 (Not required for instant auto-responders)

	cron_pop.php	   - For subscribe/unsubscribe by email


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) 	Set permissions of the cron file to be usable via cron.
		Chmod cron file to 755

2) 	Ensure that the first line of every php script to be run by the cron
		 or pipe is the location of php on the server. You don't need to put this line in 
		the cron file with the times to run.  Only put it in the php scripts.
 
		Default first line entry on the php scripts is:
    		 #!/usr/local/bin/php -q
     		The /usr/local/bin/php should be the location of php

3) 	Add a cron job to run the cron files as often as you require.
	Suggested times for running cron:
		cron.php 		every 15 minutes
		cron_bounce.php		every 12 hrs
		cron_responder.php	every 60 minutes
		cron_pop.php		every 30-60 minutes


If you are unsure how to set the cronjob to run, it is suggested to contact your
web host or system administrator.
You should not set your cron job to run under 5 minutes
